Prominent modernist Architect Earl Flansburgh’s “Mattapoisett House” at 13 Shipyard Lane in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts is a work of art. Its daring design at the time it was commissioned c. 1965, in an otherwise traditional shingle-style coastal setting, represents the uniqueness of this property both in its architectural pedigree as well as its oceanfront setting on Mattapoisett’s inner-harbor. Situated on a very private and breathtaking 1.37 acre waterfront lot with approximately 75 ft. of its own beach, this 1,729 sq ft, 4 BR, 3 BA residence in true modernist form was built to take advantage of its natural setting with an abundance of light and stunning views from every site line. This home offers soaring ceilings, walls of glass, inside/outside flow from living to outside space, hardwood floors, streamlined millwork, exterior wood clad walls, and an overall elegantly simple mid-60’s aesthetic. Centrally located with a 5 minute walk to Mattapoisett’s charming village.
