Perched 50 feet above Lake Waramaug, 1 Tinker Hill Road in New Preston CT is a testament to visionary architecture and modern living. Conceived by renowned architect Kenneth Duncan, this extraordinary residence seamlessly blends with its breathtaking surroundings. Inspired by Lake Como, Italy, Duncan crafted a little jewel box that appears to float effortlessly above the landscape. The 22-foot high living room features a spectacular 20-foot wall of glass, bathing the interior in natural light and framing stunning lake views. This design blurs the line between indoors and outdoors, immersing you in the changing moods of the lake and sky. The 1,600-sqft home has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a versatile third room adaptable as a guest room or TV den. An open concept design creates a light, airy atmosphere embodying effortless living. Expansive decks and natural granite surround the home, providing multiple vantage points of the landscape. Approximately 200 feet of private Lake Waramaug frontage provides direct access for boating, swimming, or quiet contemplation. The grounds feature an easy-to-maintain garden with diverse plantings, specimen trees, and graceful dogwoods, creating a tapestry of colors and textures that evolve with the seasons. Duncan's commitment to quality and visual excitement is evident throughout. The result is a residence that exceeds lofty aspirations, offering a living experience both luxurious and deeply connected to nature.
