A custom 1976 home at 17 Deer Run in Wayland—an indoor pool estate built with extensive glass and designed to feel surrounded by trees—has entered the market for the first time in decades at $3,950,000.
By the time you reach the top near Reeves Hill, the scale of the property starts to show—10,007 square feet of contemporary design spread across a 3.5-acre lot, where the glass isn’t just decorative. It’s the point.
Now, 17 Deer Run in Wayland is on the market for the first time. Built in 1976 for the original owner and kept in the family ever since, the home is listed for $3,950,000. David Stewart and his wife—also the listing agent. Carol Stewart—are handling the sale for David’s mother-in-law. who is moving to a warmer climate.
The headline features are hard to miss: the house has four bedrooms. four full bathrooms. two half bathrooms. two wood-burning fireplaces. and seven parking spaces. including two inside a garage. There is also an indoor pool measuring 38 by 91 feet—part of a pool room that David Stewart says reliably stops visitors in their tracks.
He described it as the “wow” moment guests get when they see the space. In his telling, it’s not just the pool. The room includes about 58 individual windows. and each one is set in framing made of large 12-by-20-inch redwood beams that reach the ceiling. Over the pool sits a mezzanine about 11 feet above the water.
“Everyone’s jaw drops when they come into this room,” David Stewart said.
The home’s glass-forward design extends well beyond the pool area. The Stewarts said that from the bedrooms, office spaces, the indoor pool, and the kitchen, almost every space has a portal to vast views of the surrounding forests of Wayland. They also clean the windows one to three times a year.
The family has made renovations over time to keep the original structure feeling current. A primary bedroom was added in 2000, a foyer was added in 2010, and new flooring was installed in 2026.
With the indoor pool, Stewart’s advice to a potential buyer is practical: plan on routine checks. He recommends hiring a pool service to inspect the pool monthly. He said the pool should require very little maintenance because it is a salt pool that largely handles its own cleaning. but it still needs occasional vacuuming and possibly pH checks.
The pool room is also where the home’s private character shows most clearly. It’s designed for use all year, tucked behind glass and surrounded by light, with the mezzanine overlooking the 38-by-91-foot indoor pool.
For a buyer stepping into a house that has been kept in the family since 1976, the selling pitch is simple: it’s not just a residence with amenities. It’s a carefully built environment—wide windows, wood beams, and indoor water—engineered so nature feels present in every room.

That price is wild for Wayland. Indoor pool like that… you know the maintenance has to be insane.
Wait is this the glass house with the pool like literally surrounded by trees? Sounds cool but I feel like the heating bill would be massive, especially in winter.
So it’s a salt pool that “cleans itself” but then they’re still vacuuming monthly? That seems kinda contradictory lol. Also 12-by-20 redwood beams reaching the ceiling… that doesn’t sound safe to me for some reason.
I don’t get it, they added a primary bedroom in 2000 and then “new flooring in 2026”?? like are they selling now or next year? Anyway 7 parking spaces makes it sound like it’s basically a venue, not a house.
