Read the full listing description
A rare offering in the coveted Willowmere Association, 44 Willowmere Avenue presents an exceptional opportunity in a truly special setting. This 4-bedroom residence captures beautiful water views and is nestled within exquisitely mature, curated landscaping that creates a private, garden-like sanctuary. Established plantings and seasonal blooms frame the property, evoking a sense of retreat just moments from everyday conveniences. A true mid-century modern residence, originally designed by architect William Rutherford as his personal home. Known for his celebrated landscape work at Storm King Art Center and the New York World's Fair, Rutherford brought a rare sensitivity to the relationship between architecture and the natural environment. This home reflects that vision--seamlessly integrating clean modern lines with its surrounding landscape. The existing footprint provides flexibility, while the setting elevates the potential to something truly extraordinary. Enjoy the heated pool and the ease of a walkable, highly desirable location. An exceptional opportunity for the discerning buyer to craft a one-of-a-kind residence in an idyllic coastal enclave.
