Submission: “One of the stars of New Canaan’s legacy of mid-century modernism, the Wiley House, designed by Philip Johnson in the early 1950’s, was restored and expanded by Roger Ferris + Partners. Johnson’s double-height glass pavilion with its living room and subtly hidden but generous galley kitchen cantilevers out over the fieldstone base. The slope of the land allows the lower-level rooms with the light marble floors full views of the property. The vintage swimming pool with its original diving pad is a twin to the circular pool at Johnson’s Glass House. A new pool house built into the hill and the reconstructed barn/art gallery form their own separate courtyard. A stand of towering Hickory trees creates a cathedral space around the house.”

This is a gem but it is also a $12 million dollar gem. Enjoy!

For Sale:  Live in an icon.  Marcel Breuer’s iconic ‘house in garden’ built in its extended version as The Lauck House in 1950 is currently for sale.

Situated in a secluded and beautiful four-acre property five minutes from the town of Princeton, the house underwent restoration work in 2009 and includes an elegant gallery space addition. One of America’s most famous mid-century designs, this house incorporates many of Breuer’s innovations – including the renowned "butterfly roof," the centrally located kitchen, projecting parapets, vertical wood interior and exterior siding. A visual connection yet physical separation of the parent’s master bedroom on the balcony from the children’s area at the opposite side, the original Breuer stairs and rope rail, are still intact. The house contains nine rooms: four bedrooms, four bathrooms, studio, playroom, living room, family room, kitchen and two car garage.  Priced at  $1,630,000.
