The Dodecahedron on Birch Hill: an end-of-road estate on 9+ acres with expansive living spaces and commanding Mt. Mansfield views in the renowned resort town of Stowe. This is the original house on Birch Hill, built when the hill was a single 250-acre holding. With all of it to choose from, the first house took the top; the 9+ acres offered today include that hilltop setting. Its architecture recalls the golden age of Vermont skiing, when mountain homes were bold, experimental and unapologetically fun, with a postmodern spirit of geometry and wit: faceted rooflines, porthole windows, two-story glass and a design sensibility carried through the interiors. The signature domed pavilion, linked to the main house by a low wing, is sited and designed for hosting, the après-ski heart of the home, where a day on the mountain turns into a long evening with friends. The dining and living rooms face Mt. Mansfield through a two-story bank of windows anchored by a central stone fireplace. Above the garage, the game room lines up every shot with Mansfield in the background. The main-floor primary suite walks out to the wraparound deck, glass partitions set off the second-floor bedroom en-suite, and the lower-level bath includes a sauna. 5,329 finished sq ft across 3 levels; 4 bedrooms, 5 baths and a multitude of spaces for gathering and quiet relaxation. Walls designed for art, living spaces designed for memories.
