Architecture Wednesday: The Celanese House

The Celanese House was designed by famed architect Edward Durell Stone as a stunning example of mid-century modern architecture that seamlessly blends form and function. The house features a lattice screen on the façade and glass pyramids on the roof which are prime examples of Stone's design. And, true to Stone's principles, the house is substantial, private and comfortable.

Built in 1959, the house has been fully renovated to its original vision with Stone's signature elements remaining intact: floating sheet rock walls, satin bleached oak floors and walls of glass; an underlit glass floor at the entryway and a kitchen retaining its original style but with updated appliance and a new flat skylight. The primary suite is complete with spa bathroom in marble with double sinks and separate tub and shower. In addition there are three other en suite bathrooms.

The home sits on two-plus park-like acres, on prestigious Oenoke Ridge, with integrated landscape design to complement the structure. A unique opportunity to own a true masterpiece.

There are four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths in 4427 square foot home for just $4.4M.
