I remember posting this house before. It was built for the late comedian Jackie Gleason who was fascinated by space ships. The 1959 mid-century modern in Cortlandt Manor, NY is really something special. It has 5bds, 6ba, 7,000sqft, $5.5m. This is the Mother Ship.
And this is the space ship, a guest house.
It was built by a Scandinavian shipbuilder. Isn't this a cool space? The house is so detailed it took 5 yrs. to build, and Mr. Gleason bought a whole marble quarry in Italy to make sure that there was enough high quality marble to finish it.
I wish they would've shown a better photo of the fireplace- it's massive.
This is the living room and the round area is a dance floor. The living room goes around it.
Here's a very large sectional in front of the wall of windows. Look at the fireplace- what is that coming out of the side? It doesn't look like another fireplace.
Check out the ceiling.
Then, over here there's a dining area and counter.
Curved metal cabinets in the kitchen. It's modern, yet still looks mid-century. Look at the lighted glass top shelves.
It has a huge bar. This is a party house. Mr. Gleason entertained many celebrities here including Marilyn Monroe, famous baseball player Joe DiMaggio, and Pres. Richard Nixon.
Here's a game room. Those are the "official" shuffle board and pool table of the house, so I wonder if they convey.
Look at the vintage built-in stereo equipment.
The primary bedroom is in an open loft overlooking the main floor.
It has a round bed under a canopy.
And, round closets.
And, look at the round bath.
The grounds are lovely.
There's a brook on the property.
And the current owner's lovingly tended container gardens
This looks like a garden shed.
And, this 1930s house on the property is called "The Barracks," and can be used as a guest house.
The huge fireplace also has a 3rd part outside on the deck.
