Presenting the historic Landis Gores House, an architectural masterpiece epitomizing post-WWII Modernism. Designed in 1946 by Harvard Five architect Landis Gores for his own family, it stands proudly as one of New Canaan's first Modern homes. Gores was at that time working in association with Philip Johnson. He set his own home on a narrow granite ridge astride a majestic 4-acre wooded lot; the residence brilliantly leavens the glass-walled austerity of the International Style with the natural warmth of Wrightian organic architecture.The 130-foot long, single-story form is defined by sweeping horizontal planes, full-height plate glass walls, grey-stained cypress siding, and by natural stone fireplaces, walls and terracing. Its informal, open plan is divided into three distinct pavilions, anchored by the dramatic central living and dining area featuring a raised roof and tall ceilings. Original exterior lighting design by Richard Kelly enhances the seamless integration between the avant-garde interior and its environment. An expansive rear terrace, added by Gores himself in the 1980s, features circular seating areas and an elegant oval swimming pool.Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 and held by the Gores family since its inception. The Gores family granted a perpetual preservation easement to the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Yet, every room has been thoughtfully enhanced with upscale improvements that marry history with today's lifestyle demands. The chef's kitchen, complete with a butler's pantry, is designed for serious cooking and effortless entertaining. Updated bathrooms throughout reflect refined taste and functionality. The primary suite is a private sanctuary with extraordinary river views that unfold in quiet splendor.

This 70s Modern home has been revamped to a 21st century Contemporary. Perfectly situated between the spectacular east and west lakes in the Twin Lakes region of Salisbury, it's an easy walk to the lake to enjoy part ownership of the beach/lake access point, or relax in the back yard by the pool, relishing in the privacy and beauty of your surroundings. The upper level features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, lots of light, and wood beams. Walk out right onto the expansive deck, or enjoy the private balcony off the Master bedroom suite. The lower level has two additional bedrooms, an office, a full bath, a laundry area, and a central family room. Other features include a whole house generator, an owned solar electric system, mini-splits for climate control (heat & AC), and professionally maintained grounds. This is a clean, well kept home and property in the middle of a lake community in one of the most desirable areas in the Berkshires. Close to Salisbury, Hotchkiss, Berkshire, and Indian Mountain schools, and less than 30 minutes to the Wassaic train station.
