About this property
Casa Yamagoya
This Mid- Century home was designed and built by a Yale Architect who Studied under Louis Kahn and Frank Lloyd Wright. Set On the crest of a mountain top overlooking a ridge surrounded by beautiful trees and a lush landscape. The home pours light from the southern facing floor to ceiling windows and breathes warmth. Just 5 mins away from the town of Northford and 5 mins away from the historic town of Durham. Its far enough away from it all but conveniently located to Parks, New Haven, and the beach. Enjoy the warmth of the fire during those cold winter nights and the cool canopy of the trees during the summer months.

HI, I’M ALEX! I’M A CREATIVE MULTI-HYPHENATE.. INTERIOR DESIGNER - STYLIST - MERCHANDISER - COOK - GARDENER - ENTERTAINER - AMATURE, BUT PASSIONATE DANCER - AVID PURVEYOR OF ART AND VINTAGE FURNITURE - AND MORE. I LIVE AND WORK IN BROOKLYN, BUT RENOVATING A MID-CENTURY HOME HAS LONG BEEN A DREAM OF MINE. I SEARCHED FAR AND WIDE TO FIND A PLACE THAT WAS JUST RIGHT FOR ME --HISTORY DETAILS, A TRANQUIL SETTING, AND ROOM TO ENTERTAIN FRIENDS. WHEN I SAW THIS HOME I KNEW IT WAS THE ONE. I’VE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS AND FINALLY FEEL LIKE I’M AT A PLACE WHERE I CAN SHARE IT PROUDLY WITH OTHERS. I REALLY ENJOY THE AREA, THE SECLUSION, AND THE BREAK FROM THE DAILY GRIND AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL FEEL THE SAME.
ENJOY!
