Midcentury Modern Homes

"The Marshad House is not only of architecturally historical significance, but offers the chance to experience a lifestyle celebrating individuality and creativity through the timeless appeal of Breuer's modernist design,

Set on a lush lot an hour’s drive from Manhattan, Marcel Breuer’s Marshad House has a quarried stone fireplace, an updated stainless-steel kitchen, and a distinctive butterfly roof.

The spacious concrete patio in the backyard offers an idyllic setting for entertaining.

Designed by architect Allan J. Gelbin, this three-bedroom midcentury is defined by deep eaves, built-in furniture, and extensive glazing.

A cozy living area awaits in the guest suite, which offers direct access to the backyard pool.

The primary bedroom, located on the upper level, presents a soothing sanctuary, complete with an original brick fireplace and private terrace.

The dining room sits just steps away from the kitchen and features custom stained glass.

Exposed brick continues into the spacious primary suite, complete with a wall of windows.

From street view, the well-preserved, two-story residence appears to only be one level.

Expansive glazing and glass doors connect the main living areas to the adjacent patio.

Designed by Charles M. Goodman in 1958, the renovated five-bedroom is one of 24 Care-free Homes built by the Aluminum Company of America.

Built in 1937, Taliesin West was an experiment in desert living that evolved at the hands of Wright and his apprentices until he passed in 1959. Meant to be a refuge from the harsh winters of the Midwest, the complex—which grew to include a drafting studio, dining facilities, three theaters, a workshop, Wright’s office and private living quarters, and apprentice and staff residences—takes direct inspiration from the arid landscape. Over the years, Wright continually rethought previous design solutions and rebuilt sections of Taliesin West with the assistance of his apprentices. Today, the complex continues to be the headquarters of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and School of Architecture.
