Celebrate the Architectural Brilliance of Roy Johnson's "Bird House"
Sited gracefully above the waters of Gifford Pond, the "Bird House" by noted architect Roy Johnson is a breathtaking testament to the art of living with nature. With bold yet subtle design choices, Johnson invites you into a world where architecture and landscape exist in perfect harmony. From the moment you arrive via the circular courtyard, anticipation builds. The front entrance offers a direct line of sight through the home"”pulling your gaze effortlessly to the expansive rear grounds, where a sweeping lawn unfolds toward the water's edge. Here, serenity reigns: a stunning gunite pool, curated gardens, and rare specimen trees paint a tranquil tableau. Johnson's signature style shines throughout. Unconventional roof lines soar, crowning walls of glass. These bold elements enclose voluminous, light-filled interiors that breathe with openness and calm. At the heart of the home, a dramatic living room with cathedral ceilings blurs the boundary between inside and out, capturing both sky and water in every view. The main level is designed for ease and elegance. A luxurious primary suite offers privacy and comfort, while the opposite wing houses a formal dining room, cozy media room with fireplace, chefs eat-in kitchen, office and a full bath. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a loft overlook the sun drenched living space below, offering elevated views and a sense of peaceful retreat.
Every detail in the Bird House was conceived with intention. This is not just a home"”it's a sanctuary. Peaceful. Organic. Elegant.
Welcome to the Bird House. Welcome home.
