About This Home
Sited privately in Lincoln Center on 6.25A park like grounds, this rare architectural estate seamlessly blends history, modernism and sustainability. Originally built in the 1860 as a Victorian manor, the home was reimagined in 1950 introducing the Bauhaus principles of clean lines, functional design and indoor-outdoor harmony. Today, after a meticulous LEED-certified restoration, the residence stands as both a preserved landmark and a showcase of modern luxury. Expansive glass walls, dramatic overhangs, and a sculptural spiral staircase define interiors that flow with light and openness. A kitchen with recycled glass and quartz countertops, professional-grade appliances and radiant-heated stone floors anchors the home. Five spacious bedrooms, spa-inspired baths and flexible living spaces include a library, office, music room, recreation room and wine cellar, offering comfort and versatility.
