Contemporary Provincetown home is set to be one of five overlooking the ocean

Though amazing views are commonplace in Provincetown, contemporary architecture in a town with mostly Cape-style homes is definitely not.

But there are at least five new contemporary homes coming to the area – one of which is already for sale at 6 Pilgrims Landing.

The unique project was inspired by a different home that has sat on an adjacent property for decades.

Walter Gropius, a well-renowned mid-century modern architect, helped design a home on the same plot of land as 6 Pilgrims Landing in the 1950s called the Murchison House at 2 Commercial Street.

Developer Clifford Schorer bought the Murchinson House and decided to use the large area of land up on the dunes to build five more houses – the first of which is 6 Pilgrims Landing. The five new homes will be in a contemporary style, like the home Gropius originally designed, listing agent Rose Kennedy told Boston.com.

The 2,462-square-foot home was designed by award-winning architects, sisters Gisue and Mojgan Hariri, and has three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Kennedy also said construction has not yet started on the other four homes, as Schorer is doing “one at a time.’’

6 Pilgrims Landing is listed at $3,399,000 and has soaring high ceilings, amazing views through the glass walls, and a chef-style kitchen. A suspended steel and glass bridge connects the master suite, a guest bedroom, and a bath.
