Nestled in a serene wooded setting in Glastonbury, the architectural gem known as The Cedar Bridge House is an exceptional, one-of-a-kind property that bridges the gap between nature and modernity. Only on the market for the second time since it was constructed in 1983, the structure was designed by award-winning Connecticut architect Wilfred Armster, who is known for his unconventional designs with references to bridges. The Cedar Bridge House shares similarities with other bridge-like designs by Armster— including the Farmington Bridge House and the Bridge House in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Situated on 3.2 acres surrounded by soaring trees and wide-open sky views, this aweinspiring structure suspends 50 feet above the ground and is supported by steel girders built into the hillside, creating a cantilevered effect. The property boasts expansive decking, adding an additional 1,800 sq ft. of outdoor living space, including a rooftop deck with a hot tub, a potential outdoor kitchen, and an infinity white cedar deck that extends from the master suite, creating the feeling of floating on air. Inside and out, the home exudes beauty and serenity and offers many unique details that complement the natural beauty of its surroundings. The endless, oversized windows and skylights allow the surrounding nature, sunlight, and moonbeams inside, creating a serene haven to escape. Additional details such as a recessed wall fireplace and a spiral staircase ascending to an office space enhance the relaxing and unique vibe. The custom, state-of-the-art modern kitchen showcases sleek granite counters, SubZero, Wolf, and Fisher Paykel appliances, as well as Poggenpohl self-closing cabinets and a built-in Miele espresso maker. The home boasts a luxurious Master Suite, complete with a walk-in closet and a bathroom featuring radiant heated floors and an array of natural stone, including river rock and soap stone. Located just outside of Hartford in the charming town of Glastonbury, the home is is only 90 minutes to Boston and NYC — the perfect spot for those looking to easily commute to the city, while enjoying the tranquility of nature. This is a once-in-alifetime opportunity to live with nature, inside and out, in a timeless piece of modern art.
