275 Dibble Hill Rd, Cornwall, CT 06796

This extraordinary house, designed and built by the architect/owner in 1995 shows the influence of the International movement born earlier in the 20th century. Functionalism, lack of decorative ornamentation, extensive use of glass, and simple lines, sleek kitchen and baths, equipped with the finest fixtures are evident. The dwelling is built on a ledge overlooking vibrant Mill Brook, stone outcroppings, and lightly wooded grounds. The original house has been expanded and updated over the decades, but always mindful of the integrity of the original. The living room with a fpl has a wall of glass and doors to a terrace overlooking the brook. The galley kitchen is superbly equipped. There is also a library, TV room and 2 baths on this level. Either of these rooms could be additional BRs. A "bridge" from the living room leads to a dining pavilion built over the garage that was added in 1999. The pavilion has a large fireplace so the room is usable 6-8 months a year. The master suite is on the upper level. The master bath was cleverly designed with a center shower. On each side of the shower is a toilet and vanity sink. On the lower level is a studio/office with bookcases and door to a terrace. A guest addition has a full bath, large windows, high ceiling and skylight. A covered deck overlooks the brook. Cornwall is famed for its iconic red wooden bridge that spans the Housatonic River. It is home to Mohawk Mountain Ski Area and Cream Hill Pond.
