25 Hemlock Rd

Perched near the top of Hemlock Road, this expertly renovated mid-century modern is a rare offering. Originally designed in 1950 by renowned architects Edgar & Margaret Hunter and featured in Architectural Record Magazine, the home has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, living effectively as a new residence while honoring the architectural soul that defines these celebrated modernist homes.
Clean, sleek lines result in a home that feels as modern today as when it was first constructed. An open floor plan and expansive walls of windows fill the kitchen, living, and dining areas with natural light. The primary suite is privately positioned at the end of a sun-filled hallway, with access to a covered deck. The other three bedrooms each feature large windows, while all bathrooms are equipped with in-floor radiant heat. The home’s intentional layout, thoughtful sight lines, and connection between spaces create a sense of openness and scale that exceeds its footprint.
Surrounded by conservation land, the property offers exceptional privacy and a treehouse-like connection to nature, while remaining conveniently close to schools and just minutes from downtown Hanover. The newly constructed front patio, elevated above the road, is ideal for gatherings, while the more intimate rear decks invite quiet moments- morning coffee or evening stargazing.
What distinguishes this home from its original incarnation is the comprehensive upgrade to finishes and systems, with no expense spared in achieving modern, high-performance efficiency. Improvements include triple-glazed Marvin windows, closed-cell spray foam insulation, new roofing, and two heat pumps providing heating and cooling via seven floor-mounted splits. Additional systems include energy recovery ventilation, whole-home dehumidification, and gravity fed under slab basement drainage-creating a home that is efficient, balanced and exceptionally comfortable year round.
