Bauhaus-style homes from the early 20th century are extremely rare in the U.S., so when a grand model in Massachusetts came on the market last month, design aficionados took notice. Then, a recent listing in New York’s Westchester County disappeared in the blink of an eye!
Listed for $995,000, the three-bedroom residence in Dobbs Ferry was designed by architect Martin Lowenfish as his personal residence. A deal was struck for the home after less than two weeks on the market.
Lowenfish lived in the home for nearly 50 years, raising two sons here before he died in 1985. Last sold in 1987, the home is one of several residences designed by the architect.
Avant-garde design
The avant-garde art and design movement known as Bauhaus originated in Germany in 1919, and this geometric home holds true to the aesthetic.
“There are many original features like steel casement windows … and the flooring,” says co-listing broker Maria Carlino, of Sotheby’s International Realty.
Built in 1937, the three-bedroom home in the Riverview Manor neighborhood features an open floor plan and 1,906 square feet of living space.
