We?ve seen quite a few fantastic listings north of Manhattan lately?like this fixer-upper begging for a renovation?and today?s house is no exception. Located in Armonk, New York, about 50 minutes north of the city, this four-bedroom, two-bath midcentury was built in 1957 by architect Arthur Witthoefft of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
The home is a 25-by-95 foot rectangle featuring a black exposed-steel frame, white glazed brick, and huge floor-to-ceiling glass sliders. It sits on a sloping site, surrounded by the forrest of Westchester County. The design won an AIA First Honor Award in 1962, and multi-year renovations overseen by Witthoefft in 2007 brought the home back to its glory days.
A freestanding travertine-and-steel fireplace divides the living and dining areas and serves as a major focal point. The kitchen received the most changes in the renovation, removing a wood-veneered island in favor of one clad in white lacquer and stainless steel. The house is flooded with light and all of the windows along the the 95-foot-long western elevation open onto a long stone terrace for fresh air.
