Of-the-Chart Cool, Cool, Cool. Sa a Mid Century Modern achitekti mèt travay se antoure nan 8.6 akr nan Hudson Valley, li melanje san pwoblèm ak lanati atravè fenèt ki soti nan planche rive nan plafon. Apeprè yon èdtan nò de NYC nan Westchester County, "The Mothership" Roundhouse se yon estrikti MCM etonan ki fèt ak bati pa Robert Cika sou kontra ikòn Ameriken Jackie Gleason ki te pasyone sou UFO. Fini an 1959, kay la te anba konstriksyon pandan 5 ane. Yon dezyèm "Spaceship" se yon estrikti ki pi piti ki te sèvi kòm yon domi ak glamping sou ane yo. Se tankou si Spaceships te ater nan forè Westchester! Atizana detay, eksepsyonèl la klè nan travay an bwa, prèske tout koube, yon pwosesis ki se yon atizay ki pran tan. Yon konstriktè bato Skandinav te jwenn komisyon pou kreye konsepsyon plafon ki sanble ak fòm bato pandan travay metal la se tou enkwayab - kèk vant yo sanble ak pwason estilize. Rèz ak chemine yo fèt ak twou blan sòti nan Italy. (Yo te di Gleason te achte yon tout fo kote blan nan Itali pou asire kapasite pou enpòte ase blan bon jan kalite!) Gen anpil folklò ki antoure pwopriyete sa a tou - si mi yo te ka pale. Zanmi selebrite Gleason yo te di yo enkli Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio ak Nixon pou fèt Mitann lannwit li yo. Avèk Bars orijinal yo ki wè ap desann (3), yon Sal Jwèt (ak tablo Shuffleboard ofisyèl) ak Majikè Marble Dance Floor, kay sa a te imajine pou fè fèt. Sepandan "The Mothership" se tou rilaks e ou pral jwi bèl opinyon ak yon koneksyon amoni ak lanati ki fèt atravè fenèt ki soti nan planche rive nan plafon. Lòt karakteristik: Twa Dòmi, de twalèt konplè, yon demi twalèt, kwizin an awo sou fè, yon espas salon ki laj, yon sal manje, yon bibliyotèk sikilè ak biwo. Li se remakab ke anpil detay orijinal ak anpil kabinè ak klozèt ki entegre yo te konsève. Anplis, "The Barracks," yon Kay Kolonyal an Wòch 1930 yo se amizan e li ka sèvi kòm yon kay envite. Anplis, yon jaden legim ak zèb ki devlope ak anpil afeksyon e ki konplètman kloti ak kabann jaden. Yon retrè eksepsyonèl ak pwopriyete prive nan peyi a, sa a se yon ti pyè ki kache. Prèske golf Championship, Hudson River, West Point, manje, magazen, mizik ak estasyon tren Metro North pou konvenyans. Senpleman di, "Ki jan li dous."

Off-the-Charts Cool, Cool, Cool. This Mid Century Modern architectural masterpiece is tucked away on 8.6 Hudson Valley acres, blending seamlessly with nature through floor-to-ceiling windows. About one hour north of NYC in Westchester County, "The Mothership" Roundhouse is a stunning MCM structure designed and built by Robert Cika under the commission of American Icon Jackie Gleason who was fascinated by UFO's. Completed in 1959, the home was under construction for 5 years. A second "Spaceship" is a smaller structure that has been used as a bunk-house and glamping over the years. It is as if Spaceships have landed in the woods of Westchester! The detailed, extraordinary craftsmanship is evident in the woodworking, almost entirely bent, a process which is a time-consuming art. A Scandanavian shipbuilder was commissioned to create the ceiling design which resembles the shape of boats while the metal work is also incredible - some vents resemble stylized fish. Floors and fireplaces are made of Italian marble. (Gleason was said to have purchased an entire marble quarry in Italy to ensure the ability to import enough quality marble!) There is much folklore that surrounds this property too - if the walls could talk. Gleason's celebrity guests are fabled to have included Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio and Nixon for his midnight soirees. With the original swooping Bars (3), a Game Room (with official Shuffleboard table) and the glamorous Marble Dance Floor, this home was imagined for entertaining. Yet "The Mothership" is also relaxing and one enjoys beautiful views and a harmonious connection with Nature provided by the floor-to ceiling windows. Other features: Three Bedrooms, two Full baths, one Half Bath, Stainless Steel Curved Kitchen, spacious Livingroom Area, Dining Room, circular Library and Office. It is remarkable that many original details and numerous built-in cabinetry and closets have been preserved. Additionally, "The Barracks," a 1930's Stone Colonial House is charming and can serve as a guest house. Plus, lovingly cultivated and fully fenced expansive vegetable and herb garden with gardening shed. An exceptional private country estate retreat, this property is a hidden gem. Close to championship Golf Courses, the Hudson River, West Point, Dining, Shopping, Music and Metro North Train Stations for convenience. Simply put, "How sweet it is." © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
