Modern in Greenwich, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Although it's been three years since I checked out an Ulrich Franzen house, I knew that this Greenwich, Connecticut house had a familiar look. Some architects carry their mark into every home. Several of Franzen's homes look like giant oceanliners steaming over the landscape. This 1992 home is on seven acres overlooking a lake. The most striking feature of the home is a large two-story glass atrium. The interior is spare and modern with concrete, granite and marble. The five-bedroom home also an elevator, an indoor pool, media, exercise and billiard rooms. Outside a granite terrace surrounds a Shoreline pool with cabana and faces an illuminated tennis court. There is also a two-bedroom guest cottage and ample garage. It is listed at $13 million.

The Yacht House, Estate of the Day

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Fabulous or not so much, I never know quite what to make of Ulrich Franzen homes but they definitely are not your classic shingled summer home. This yacht-inspired number is located in Bridgehampton, New York. It floats nine feet above the ground for a sailing effect. The estate has 2.15 acres with water frontage and a private dock. The three-bedroom home has water views with glass walls facing Mecox Bay. There is also a large gunite pool with a waterfall. You don't get a lot of square feet for your cash here (the listing says 2,400 and that might just include the two studio suites with the garage). And although the view is lovely the pool with its large cement wall does not appeal to me. And judging by the in-progress construction shown in the picture above it might not be so quiet either. This home is listed at $9.5 million. After the jump, yacht-hot or not?
