That 70's House



Having come of age in the (very late) 70's, houses like this just make me happy. The light, the openness, the walls of glass--they just say, "Come on in and relax!" Unfortunately, I seem to be in the minority since most of these gems sell for next to nothing and end up being 'reinvisioned' as colonials. Even if the magnificently mod architecture of this 3,000 square foot 5 bedroom doesn't get you, the land and location should: 5 acres on Vermont-like Croton Lake Road, close to the village of Katonah. There's even a pond. On the con side, the house clearly needs some updating--even a lover of most things 70's draws the line at the living room's red wall-to-wall. $998,000 Houlihan Lawrence
