A midcentury-modern home designed by the late architect John Black Lee is on the market for $2.6 million.
Lee is often dubbed “the sixth of the Harvard Five,” a group of respected architects including Philip Johnson and Marcel Breuer.
The four-bedroom, 4½-bath home at 296 Frogtown Road is in New Canaan, Conn., where Lee was based in his “Triangle House” until his death in 2016.
The Frogtown abode, overlooking the Noroton River, is nestled in the woods to blend in with its surroundings. The cedar-clad exterior is modern in shape, with clean lines, large windows and a flat roof.
It was enhanced in 2001 by current owners Carter and Lillian Wolfe to create more of a Zen-like style retreat, the listing notes.
It’s the first time the home has been on the market in more than 60 years, as the Wolfes bought it from the original owners, David A. and Mary Jane Teaze.
The home opens to a two-sided stone fireplace. An open living area with a glass wall leads to a patio that overlooks the rectangular pool and the woods on one side — and features Japanese-style cabinets and a chef’s kitchen on the other.
All bedrooms have views of the woods, while the lower level includes a gym and opens to the pool and landscaped gardens with mature trees.
