A Masterpiece in Modern Architecture: The Wolfhouse by Philip Johnson.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. Set atop a hillside, with commanding panoramic views of the Hudson River, the Wolfhouse is an iconic residence designed by legendary architect Philip Johnson circa 1950.
Meticulously restored to its original condition in 2020, the home effortlessly blends museum-quality design with contemporary livability. The 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence features oversized plate glass windows, an open-concept floor plan, a working fireplace, and a central courtyard that dissolves the boundary between indoors and out. White oak floors bring a sense of natural elegance, while the updated kitchen bridges modern style with warm mid-century character. Kitchen upgrades include Wolf/Subzero appliance package and custom USM modular cabinetry. Set on 1.4 acres, the property offers privacy, scale, and a profound connection to its natural surroundings. This sun-filled home offers spectacular views of the Hudson River and the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge.
The Wolfhouse also presents a rare opportunity for investment-minded buyers: Commercial shoot income potential of $15,000–$35,000/day + Short-term rental income averaging $1,250/night.
Whether as a full-time residence, creative retreat, or strategic investment, this extraordinary property stands as a timeless tribute to one of America’s most influential architects—and a bold expression of modern living in the Hudson Valley. Own a landmark. Live in a legacy.
