Beautiful innovative masonry with arches and domes. Pet-Friendly!

A peaceful place in the woods, comfortable rooms with unique masonry construction. This house was built as a test model, which helped the invention (concrete block to build roofs, as arches and domes) to get accepted into Building Code for the first time. There are lots of features to showcase what the masonry can do, including 8 ft. diameter domes, 16 ft. dome (kitchen), and 24 ft diameter dome (bedroom); also independent arches which span the living room, flying buttresses, and a tall tower entryway with a gothic arched roof. This building was designed by Robert Ferry, AIA, RDP. The living room has a large book collection (main subject is the Enlightenment), a 1940 upright Steinway piano, a great stereo with vintage Klipschorn speakers, and a 60 inch TV. There is a dining room table seating 6, a kitchen table seating 4. There is radiant heating under the tiled floor. Kitchen: 2 gas stoves, microwave, coffeemaker and full cooking and serving utensils. 1 mile to Alfred University.

Castle in the woods
First of all, I'm going to start by saying it was so hard to leave this place! Pete is an above and beyond kind of host, so friendly. The house is a one of a kind architectural delight! Plenty to do in this area, including state forests and parks. Corning,NY not too far and a wonderful city with Corning glass factory tours. You won't regret staying here it's a big beautiful paradise.

Great location with neat architecture
This property was perfect for our visit back to Alfred. It’s very close to the village but far enough away that nighttime was quiet and peaceful, and the architecture of the space is one of a kind. Peter was a great host and I’d highly recommend this for anyone visiting Alfred.
