A classic mid-century home with a clean, modern feel

Designed by architect Peter Floyd in 1958, this classic mid-century home complements its serene forty-two-acre woodland setting in Monterey, Massachusetts, with a clean, modern feel. Generous windows throughout three bedrooms offer panoramic views of lush flora and a backyard lily pond, while additional office and living space adds to the open feel. Luxuries including a master suite that opens directly to the outdoors and a large masonry fireplace combine with restored touches like original General Electric metal cabinets and wood built-ins and accents, making this 1,720-square-foot abode a charming oasis. Abutting Beartown State Forest and property protected by the Monterey Preservation Land Trust, this secluded spot showcases the region’s verdant landscape just outside its windowed walls.
