About the Home

A mid-century modern masterpiece, this three-story, 4670 SF house is set on 5.5 wooded acres, with dramatic views of landscaped forest, native meadow, & spring fed pond. Designed by renowned architect and sculptor Norman Hoberman, the house was the family residence for over 60 years. Together with his wife, noted children’s poet Mary Ann Hoberman, Hoberman found myriad ways to integrate architecture with the natural environment. Multiple terraces, a balcony, meandering hillside woodland paths, mature gardens & native grasses – there are vistas & intimate spaces in every direction. Located in semi-rural North Greenwich, the property includes working sheds, a barn with a loft & Finnish cedar sauna. Inside, the open floor plan boasts radiant-heated slate floors, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and an elegant brick fireplace. From the light-filled, spacious kitchen, walk out to gardens and a brick terrace, perfect for gatherings. Upstairs, three bedrooms with original oak floors and generous built-in storage await, along with well-maintained bathrooms with original tiles and fixtures. The property also offers two expansive artist studios for creative pursuits, and a third level home office drenched in natural light. Every detail of the house & landscape works together to form an integrated whole, creating a serene oasis of thoughtful & innovative design. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of architectural & creative history in this natural haven.
