From the agent: "Drive through unique stone pillars to enter a serene and idyllic world punctuated by the rushing sound of the Byram River. Set amid the mature landscape is a unique home with a dramatic expansion by the noted midcentury-modern architect, Paul Rudolph. The house offers an amazing living room and screen porch perched on columns 25 feet above the property as it rolls down to the Byram River 100 feet below. Rudolph oriented the new and repurposed spaces to capture the western sunsets. Characteristic of this architectural style popular in the mid-20th Century, building materials and structural features are to be visible artistic elements."
Rudolph’s design unfolds over numerous offset floors. One large room shifts to various levels, and the second floor, supported by columns, extends outward.
