Mid-Century modern home living in New Jersey

We are fortunate enough to have found one of the very few modern Frank Lloyd Wright inspired homes on Sagamore Road in the Wyoming section of Millburn. We enjoy floor to ceiling windows with dramatic NYC skyline views, open and clean living spaces, walking distance to town and the Midtown direct train into NYC, and appreciative comments from visitors and anyone who’s read Dwell Magazine. While some are not in love with modern design, we find freedom and think it’s just down right cool! We love living in our tree house, or a sculpture of sorts with Eichler, Mondrian, and Calder inspirations throughout.

Those who aren’t familiar with Sagamore Road, to me it’s a beautiful country road, nestled up against the South Mountain reservation, with over 2000 acres of trees and streams, but still conveniently located in walking distance to Down Town Millburn!

We’d always liked Modern design as architectural statements, never thinking we’d depart from our traditional roots, but when the opportunity came, we grabbed one (by the skin of our teeth). I can’t say we knew what it all meant at the time, but after living in our Jetsons styled home, it’s hard to imagine we could have ever lived anywhere else!

It’s not that traditional homes aren’t wonderful with their classic charms, but mid century modern homes call to a contemporary sensibility that’s very different and special in it’s own way.

Mid Century modern homes are rare here, but can be found in Millburn/Short Hills, Maplewood, South Orange, Warren, Mountainside and the surrounding towns.

These gems, or diamonds in the roughs, don’t come up every day.  Call or drop me an email, if you want me to keep my eye out for you.  Deirdre  973-985-0500 Deirdre@sueadler.com
