"If you happen to have $8 million to spend right now, perhaps do a little soul searching but then consider this listing. The Falls, as its been named, goes way beyond the standard luxury box house. Designed by architect Charles Gwathmey, likely most famous for his addition to the Guggenheim in the early '90s, the house blends with its lush surroundings, which include a running waterfall and a wildflower meadow."
"The interiors are by New York-based designer Stephen Sills - the kitchen is open concept with metal cabinets and one of the bedrooms comes with an angled fireplace right at the foot of your bed. Glass block windows trim the ceilings adding extra light and a little design wink to the fact that it was built in 1981. The estate also comes with a pool, tennis courts, and a sprawling stone terrace. Just make sure you have enough put aside for a healthy window-cleaning budget."
Commuter-area listings include an $8,000,000 Charles Gwathmey-designed estate and a preserved 1869 Queen Anne priced at $2,250,000. The Gwathmey estate, named The Falls, sits amid a running waterfall and wildflower meadow, with interiors by Stephen Sills, an open-concept kitchen with metal cabinets, a bedroom with an angled fireplace, glass block windows, pool, tennis courts, and a stone terrace. The property is about 20 minutes from Metro-North and a two-hour train ride to the city. The Queen Anne mansion retains original wallpaper, drapery, fireplaces, stained-glass transoms, hand-carved woodwork, and Tiffany pendant lamps.
