Take a peek at this jaw-dropping, custom home, then send it to your artsiest friend for their reaction.

The image shows the interior of a home with white walls and grey + white checkerboard floors. A tree stands in a circle of stones in the middle of the floor. A spiral staircase can be seen to the right. There are a couple of framed art pieces on the walls and decorations near the floors. Behind the tree, an open doorway leads to a black piano in a separate room.

Imagine lugging your bags inside, shutting the door, and heading straight to the couch after a long day. Now imagine that again, but there’s a serene, stretching tree in your living room.

Meet 273 Pembroke Ln., a distinctive, 4,215-sqft contemporary-style home built in 1988 and currently for sale with Long & Foster Real Estate.

Located in the Pembroke neighborhood — just a jump off River Road — this dazzling 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom home is priced at $1.94 million + has earned the spotlight for its unique and artsy features. In fact, it could probably pass for an art museum at first glance.

A contemporary home features a white facade with red and blue accent pillars and 7+ visible windows. A driveway on the right of the photo leads to an underground garage. The house is surrounded by green grass and trees in the surroundings.
