81 Sunset Rock Road

More than a wonderful Andover home, here’s your chance to live in a work of art, the Grieco House, a rare offering designed by modernist master architect Marcel Breuer. As a student at the Bauhaus, Breuer studied with artist Paul Klee and he brings Klee’s ideas of light, time, and space to life in this home. The entrance hall is central to the bi-nuclear design, dividing the bedroom and dayroom wings. Breuer literally links the outdoors to the indoors with fieldstone walls, creating lines between in and out. Natural light suffuses the space from the walls of windows, and shadows and light reflected from a pond with a small waterfall play upon the ceilings and walls. The living and dining rooms cantilever over the lower garden. The home is heated via hot-water radiant polished concrete floors and radiant ceilings. The current owners gave restored much of the architectural elements of the house back to life, including Breuer’s original cabinetry, while stabilizing the infrastructure.
