Summary:
13318 - Architect's Escape: Unwind at Newcomb Hollow Beach!
The Space:
Indulge in modern serenity amidst timeless landscapes at the Architect’s Escape, a contemporary marvel nestled within the embrace of Cape Cod’s National Seashore. Perched on over 5 acres of hilltop seclusion, modern architecture harmonizes with pristine nature, offering a retreat from the bustle of everyday life.
Atop a tranquil hill, the property boasts unparalleled privacy, with no neighbors in sight for over 500 yards. The main structure, adorned with three sun-drenched decks and a screened second-floor porch, offers two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms on the first floor. Ascend to the second floor, where the open-concept living space, complete with a smart TV, kitchen, and dining area, flows seamlessly into a four-season sun porch-turned-bedroom, ideal for lounging or accommodating extra guests.
For those seeking additional seclusion, a studio cottage awaits, a mere 200 yards away. Rustic yet charming, this minimalist retreat features a queen bed, cozy reading nook, and outdoor shower, providing a private sanctuary for extended family or guests.
The Architect’s Escape accommodates up to 9 guests, ensuring ample space for relaxation and rejuvenation. Venture beyond the confines of the estate and discover a tapestry of natural wonders, with picturesque ponds and ocean beaches just a short stroll away. From Gull Pond to Newcomb Hollow Beach, adventure awaits amidst the pristine landscapes of the National Seashore.
Please note the serene seclusion of the Architect’s Escape is accessed via a quarter-mile packed dirt road, leading to a steep paved driveway. While 4x4 vehicles are not required, we recommend a cautious approach to navigating the terrain.
Delve into the rich history of the property, originally crafted in the 1950s by renowned architect Serge Chermayeff, a luminary of modernist design and friend to architectural legends Eero Saarinen and Marcel Breuer. As you ascend the stairs, take note of Chermayeff's masterful shingle mixed media piece, a testament to the enduring legacy of design and innovation.
