About Property

"The Fischer House" - a waterfront property and setting like no other! Designed by renowned architect, Norman Jaffe, the home is located on the extremely beautiful and pristine lake, Green Pond. Jaffe was an innovator in using natural materials. His romantic sensibility is evident throughout the rooms, with their showcase windows of the lake and surrounding trees, their rough hewn paneling, multiple skylights and vaulted ceilings. Four bedrooms, plus a sleeping loft, provide room for everyone. The primary suite offers its own Bath and adjoining meditation/exercise room. Each of the other three bedrooms offers a private sink and shares a full bath with an adjoining sauna. There is an outdoor shower and steps down to the lake to one's own private dock. Green Pond is known for being one of the cleanest and most serene lakes in the region. Its spring-fed waters are ideal for swimming and non-motorized craft. Kayaks, paddle boards, canoe and hammocks are available and on site. Tenants also have access to two private community beaches on Candlewood Lake. The home is an historic example of Jaffe's rustic modernist designs and is owned by the son of the original owner, famed photographer, Carl Fischer, known for his iconic Esquire covers. Located less than two hours from NYC and minutes to Metro North trains. Available to rent for the month of June for $16,000, July for $18,000, and/or August for $20,000. Full season also available.
