This stunning midcentury modern home located in Newburgh, NY, was built in 1949 by the preeminent American architect Philip Johnson. Wolfhouse bears much in common with Johnson’s most famous home, The Glass House, erected the same year.

It’s most recently been reimagined as both a rental home, and also a cultural space with year-round arts programming.
