A Restored Midcentury Glass Pavilion in New York’s Westchester County Can Be Yours for $3 Million
- The Roy O. Allen House, a midcentury-modern International Style glass pavilion in Westchester County, designed by architect Roy O. Allen in 1957, is currently listed for $3 million by Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty.
Just 39 miles north of New York City and set on 1.7 acres in a sunny clearing at the end of a tree-shaded drive sits an exemplary International Style glass pavilion with views of the Hudson River from every room.
Known as the Roy O. Allen House, the long, rectangular Westchester County home was designed by its namesake architect in 1957 for his own family. (Allen is well known as the lead architect of the One Liberty Plaza skyscraper in Lower Manhattan.) Since then, the midcentury-modern stunner has undergone two major renovations that both took great care to retain original design details that make it a standout. Joanna Rizoulis and Amy Smith-Sroka at Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty hold the $3 million listing . Listings show the property is
