Unique modern property in secluded position with no onward chain
La Maison Verre is an outstanding example of modern architectural design, designed by architect Tim Poulson, and is inspired by influences ranging from classical Japanese courtyard houses to Pierre Charreau's celebrated La Maison de Verre' in Paris. The home masterfully balances a discreet external appearance with bright, spacious interiors that seamlessly connect with the surrounding courtyards and garden spaces. The intelligent layout allows for both open-plan living and private retreats, with a lower ground floor that offers a tranquil and sunlit escape. Spanning approximately 3,036 square feet, including the main house and garage, the property is arranged across two levels, offering a versatile and energy-efficient living environment. The ground floor serves as the heart of the home, featuring a spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room, designed for seamless modern living. The kitchen is fully equipped with sleek Italian lacquered cabinetry, granite worktops and premium integrated appliances. The space benefits from expansive glazing that floods the interior with natural light and connects directly to the courtyard. The principal bedroom suite offers a private sanctuary, complete with a dressing area and en-suite shower room. Two additional double bedrooms, each generously sized, share access to two further shower rooms. A double garage, accessible from the courtyard, provides practical storage and secure parking.
The lower ground floor expands the home's versatility. A spacious sitting room forms the centrepiece of this level, complimented by a library/lower hall. The inclusion of a study (which can function as a fourth bedroom), a gymnasium, and a well-equipped utility room ensures practicality while maintaining the home's sleek aesthetic. A bathroom with both a bath and shower serves this level. Internally, every aspect of the home has been designed with meticulous attention to detail. The entrance hall features a striking sandblasted glass floor on a steel frame, while the kitchen, dining, living spaces, study, bathrooms, and utility room are elegantly finished in porcelain tiles. The bathrooms are adorned with Thassos white marble or Siena porcelain tiles, and high-end sanitaryware from Villeroy & Boch, Catalano, and Bette.
La Maison Verre is a smart home, integrating cutting-edge KNX technology for centralised control of lighting, blinds, and entertainment systems. Underfloor heating is installed throughout, and a whole-house mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery ensures 100% fresh air circulation. With its innovative architectural vision, high-end materials, and seamless integration of smart home technology, La Maison Verre redefines contemporary living in Cambridge, offering both functional elegance and outstanding energy efficiency.

I have known of this house in Cambridge for a while, and I was absolutely blown away by how cool this house is, not to mention the amount of natural light!
