A beautifully renovated, midcentury modern home with striking details is available $1,325,000 in Ware, MA.

The 1960s-era abode itself includes a rounded, ipe-wood kitchen feature and a “Sinatra-style” party room.

Situated in an area between “serenity and fun,” 68 Old Gilbertville Road allows for easy access to a variety of desirable Massachusetts spots—including the towns of Amherst and Northampton.

The 7-acre property borders the protected forests and hiking trails of the Quabbin Reservoir, the state’s largest inland body of water.

“The forested landscape of the Quabbin Reservoir entertains through every season,” says listing agent Suzanne White. “You’re minutes from trails, parks, and a vibrant arts community.”

Updated abode

An remarkable redesign by area architect Sigrid Miller Pollin awaits inside the 1965 build.

“Passing stone pillars on a circular drive, you’ll enter a welcoming foyer with an elegantly curved wall that leads you through a shoji-screened yoga or office room,” White says.

The open-concept main room includes a kitchen, dining room, and living room space.

“A chef’s kitchen concealed behind planters has Meile, Wolf, and Franke appliances set in 13-foot, customized quartz islands,” says White. “Opt for dinner on a crushed-velvet lounge banquet, or grab a quick bite at the live-edge counter.”

A Brazilian ipe-wood bar with a wine fridge stands at the ready for all your cocktail parties. And another impressive ipe-wood design—a multipurpose circular storage cabinet (which houses a fridge)—also adorns the kitchen space. This unique structure was created out of the owners’ desire for a kitchen that deviated from normal designs. Box checked!

White notes that the updated sleep spaces are also somewhat of a departure from the norm.

“The bedroom wing has multiple en suite bathrooms and a primary suite that includes a fireplace, dressing room, and waterfall Carrara marble bath,” she says.

But the wonders of this midcentury gem don’t stop there. Head downstairs for a blast from the past, namely that “Sinatra-style” party room. The dramatic space boasts a retro, padded bar and two fireplaces. White says the space currently boasts a flat-screen TV, vintage decor, and a pool table.
