Overview
This unique, light-filled mid-century modern was built by renown local builder, Mickey Wangler, inspired by the simple clean designs of the Frank Lloyd Wright movement utilizing glass and wood to create a symbiotic presence with nature. This natural beauty home is located in a desirable 5-acre zoned neighborhood and boasts privacy and serenity with its convenient setting bordering on the Teatown Lake Reservation with over 850 acres of preserved open space and 14 miles of hiking trails. The house itself boasts a large passive solar sunroom with southern exposure, attaching a fabulous two-level dodecagon to another two-level modern structure. In addition to the large custom windows and sliding glass doors, wide plank pine floors and gorgeous brick fireplace with wood insert in the living room, the main house’s unusual multi-angular interior is prominently displayed in the amazing ceiling design of the open space living areas. To enhance the feeling of living one with nature, the living and dining areas are surrounded with a large angular wrap-around deck which overlooks Bald Mountain. There is a beautifully-updated kitchen with custom cherry cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and a comfortable and environmentally sustainable cork floor, plus there are two bedrooms and a bath that complete this level. Following the same footprint below, there is a large comfortable family room where you can relax and also enjoy picturesque views of the surrounding woods, along with a bath, laundry and storage areas, and a sliding glass door that allows access fluidity to the sunroom and to the upper level deck. Most importantly to fit with today’s modern living standards, there is a separate wing of the house with an oversized two-car garage with storage closets and, above that a desirable primary suite with a large bedroom and sitting room, both with oak floors, and plenty of closets. The manageable just-shy, two-acre property has many colorful trees and mature plantings, and a huge side yard with a shed. The land behind the house is preserved from development by the John Hand Westchester County Park. This southern Yorktown location falls within the sought-after Croton school district, and its convenient Teatown location is close to highways, and has a 10-minute drive to the Croton Harmon Metro North train station with a 46-minute express commute to Grand Central Station.
