Multiple Buyers Angle for a $999K Hexagonal Home in New York’s Westchester County

No doubt about it—there are plenty of straight lines inside this midcentury modern home in New York’s Westchester County. The angular abode even played a role in a hit movie.

Built in 1966, the hexagon-shaped house has had only one owner. The property was listed in early August for $999,000 and snagged several offers in just a few days. The listing is now off the market.

“There are a lot of people that love midcentury modern,” observes listing agent Sharon Bodnar Briskman, who is representing the home with Nancy Beard, both of Houlihan Lawrence BriarCliff Manor Brokerage.

Hexagon-filled home

The house comprises four hexagons that create three distinct living spaces: living, sleeping, and utility.

“I think that’s my favorite thing, the way it separates all of the areas,” Bodnar Briskman says. “It’s done with beauty and shape and style.”

There are five bedrooms and four full bathrooms, most of which are in the sleep-designated hexagon.

“I think it’s so ingenious how they planned this house, because they were ahead of their time,” Beard notes. “There are so many spaces that are planned out in this wonderful, hexagonal layout that allows for office space, privacy, and utilitarian spaces that you wouldn’t necessarily have thought of.”

The home’s entry, crowned by a vaulted ceiling, is a real showstopper.

“When you walk into this home, people are wowed in that front entryway,” Beard says. “You look up, and your eye goes soaring up to this hexagon with this incredible fixture that is just perfect for it.”

The living-space hexagon has 12-foot ceilings and opens to the adjacent dining area.

Everything in the house is in relatively good shape, as far as the listing agents can tell.

“The owners kept it up, and the mechanicals were done in the 1990s,” Beard says. “They certainly used fine materials when they built this. The home was their pride and joy, and they used materials that would stand the test of time.”

Glass sliders and large windows open from the living areas to the nearly 1-acre property that borders a country club with a wooded area.

“The grounds are just beautiful,” Bodnar Briskman says. “You have a magnificent front facade, which is very long and wide, and you have a very large driveway. In the back, you have a gorgeous patio in that hexagon-type shaping,”

Beard says the driveway and the home’s setback from the street attracted the location scouts for the 2007 Ridley Scott movie, “American Gangster.” The property served as a backdrop for the home of Detective Tupo, a character played by actor Josh Brolin.

“It was his home, and his prized automobile blows up in the driveway,” Beard says. “The scouts drove down the street and saw the house and how it sat up from the road, and they loved that look and they picked it.”
