From the Agent: "Presenting this rare opportunity to own an iconic modern masterpiece designed by acclaimed architect Charles Gwathmey. Gwathmey transformed this 200-year-old barn into his own 1978 residence showcasing a living room with beamed ceiling, a massive fireplace, and sculptural built-in details. The current owners renovated and expanded it to further Gwathmey’s dream, adding many striking elements including glass block walls, corrugated metal cladding, and a silo encircling a spiral staircase. The property also comes with a secluded pool, outdoor lounge, bar, grill, and firepit."
The sprawling home rests on a one-acre lot, surrounded by mature trees and greenery.
A staircase descends from the entry, past a wall of glass bricks, to a double-height living room dressed in vibrant color.
The kitchen has custom wood cabinetry, long countertops, and a pass-through window that connects to the adjacent breakfast nook.
The spacious primary bedroom has exposed wood beams and a large, tiled en suite bath.
A sparkling pool and a patio await in the private backyard.
