Philip Johnson, extraordinary 20th century architect, introduced The International Style to Americans. His first commissioned house (which predates his famous Glass House) was built in 1946 for Richard and Olga Booth in Bedford, NY as a weekend retreat. It has 2,320 sf with an additional 800 sf studio. It was then rented in 1955 by architects, and later purchased by these same architects in 1964 with loving, respectful updates in in the interim.
Originally listed at $2 million, it is now a cool $1.6 million. The listing agent has done a great job of providing the history of this house, as well as details and floor plans, on his listing here.
