Modern Home in the Trees | 5 Min to Beach & Guilford Green
Thoughtfully designed on a stone slope, this modern home welcomes you on the top floor, where you descend into a soaring, light-filled space surrounded by forest. A deck overlooks a private trail through three secluded acres, yet you’re just minutes from historic Guilford Green and beaches. Artist-owned, the home features thoughtfully curated furnishings and artwork that enrich its distinctive design.
Perfect for couples or long-term summer guests seeking tranquility, nature, and artistic charm.

This Guildford home is set in the woods with spectacular views from all the large windows in every room. The hosts met us on arrival to explain various things and answer our questions. It was clean throughout and the beds were very comfortable. Guildford is an historic New England town with many nearby attractions including beaches. We enjoyed our stay.

Why they chose this property
We love this location because we are 5 min from the beach, 5 min from downtown, but at the house you feel like you are a in the middle of the woods.
