Rare does not begin to describe it. This is an original Deck House, the celebrated post and beam design made to live inside the landscape rather than sit on top of it. In Hollis, a home like this is truly one of a kind. Nearly fifty years on, the architecture remains exactly as it was drawn, and impeccably maintained. Exposed beams and soaring ceilings give every room a sense of openness. Walls made almost entirely of glass pull the surrounding woods inside, and morning light moves slowly across the floors as the whole house seems to wake with the trees. Warm mahogany and gorgeous hardwood run underfoot. Where it matters most, the home has been quietly brought forward, with a beautifully updated kitchen and baths that serve the original design rather than compete with it.The lower level offers a bonus space ideal for home office, family room, or potential for 3rd bedroom. The setting is every bit as special. Three private acres sit well back from the scenic country road, wrapped in a comfortable canopy of mature trees. A deck runs the full length of the house and looks out to a private pond at the edge of the property, An oversized detached two car garage completes the property. All of this in Hollis, one of Southern New Hampshire's most desirable towns, known for its scenic, rural character and top-rated schools. This is a home for someone searching for something different, something exceptional. The kind of place you do not simply find. You recognize it. Come experience it for yourself.
