Watch the sunrise on Long Island Sound from your bedroom suite, where large-scale windows overlook the gentle silhouette of the Thimble Islands. This stunning contemporary in the heart of desirable Pine Orchard on almost an acre of manicured green space is a secluded oasis, yet close to everything. With white-washed brick, tongue-in-grove exposed beam ceilings, 2 fireplaces and an open-plan design, this home is suffused with a coastal modern beauty. Designed by renowned architect Dennis Davey, this passive-solar custom home built from imported limestone, brick, wood and glass is made to collect heat from the sun in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer.

An incredible sunroom with two-story ceilings, walls of windows and an interior balcony overlooks a lap pool. Open-air dining is elegant on your stone patio surrounded by rich greenery and punctuated by mature trees. An attached accessory apartment is ideal for multi-generation living or as a guest space.
