Modernist Masterpiece in Columbia County-Inspired by Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House and Philip Johnson's Glass House, The Binocular House is an architectural tour de force. The magic of the single story house is the way it frames and dissolves the views into the surrounding woodlands. Whatever time of day you approach the privately sited property from the 1/4 mile long driveway that passes through rolling farmland the house presents itself as multiple layers that dissolve into the site and one another. The U shaped residence has a large living/dining room area with a wood burning stove, next to the sleek Euro style kitchen. The larger wing has 2 BR 2 baths and a study. The other wing off the kitchen has a breakfast room, storage units and another study that opens up on to patio. The house has state-of-the-art insulation and heating systems that make it serene in any season. For architectural aficionados, The Binocular House is rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind residence.
