It’s the Wright stuff.

A midcentury modern home in LaGrangeville, NY — a town near Poughkeepsie — has listed for $999,000. The property comes with serious architectural pedigree: Curbed reports that architect Aaron Resnick, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed the “midcentury stunner” in 1954.

Resnick, along with David Henken, is known for his work on the planned community of Usonia — a neighborhood located 44 miles south of this listing, near Pleasantville, NY, that is filled with homes inspired by Wright’s own designs.

This LaGrangeville house is one of the very few outside Usonia that reflects its central principles.

Usonia properties are known for being a single story. This pad, located at 205 Emans Road, also boasts other features of those homes: It has organic materials (like slate flooring and stone walls), many communal areas (with an open floorplan) and a fluid connection with the outdoors (in part because of large windows).





The three-bedroom, 1,792-square-foot listing also includes charming wood details, as seen in cabinets and beamed ceilings, as well as a fireplace surrounded by natural bluestone. Outside, stone pathways lead to a pool surrounded by a bluestone terrace, which also looks out to the Catskill Mountains.

Jill L. Rose and Michael James Tellerday of Houlihan Lawrence have the listing.
