Palm Springs Mid-Century Meets Historic Tuxedo Park: A rare and exceptional offering, this exquisitely restored mid-century residence combines the timeless appeal of Palm Springs design with the storied elegance of Tuxedo Park. Originally constructed in the late 19th century as a stone ice house on the Henry W. Poor estate, this home was transformed in the 1950s into a striking mid-century modern retreat. Today, it has been fully reimagined and meticulously renovated by its owner/designer—whose work has been featured in Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, and Cottages & Gardens, among others.
Set on 2.7 acres of lush, manicured grounds overlooking Tuxedo Lake, the home offers a tranquil escape just 55 minutes from Manhattan—with train access for added convenience. Its clean lines, minimalist aesthetic, and seamless indoor-outdoor integration evoke the spirit of both the Hudson Valley and Southern California modernism.
Inside, you’ll find soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, and beautifully restored stonework finished with intricate parging (plasterwork over stone). Natural materials—wood, brick, stone, metal, and glass—have been expertly used throughout to create a warm, modern, and organic environment. A new designer kitchen and 2.5 luxurious baths enhance the home’s functionality and appeal. The residence may be offered turn-key, with furnishings available at an additional cost.
The gardens are a curated masterpiece, once part of the legacy collection for the co-founder of the Standard & Poor’s Index. Highlights include: massive Syrian urns and Edo-period Japanese pagoda lanterns; period stone steps with balustrades; antique concrete benches, bird feeders, and planters; tranquil herringbone-pattern brick pathways; a formal Allie of Linden trees; sweeping lake views and peaceful outdoor spaces. This is a unique opportunity to own an architecturally significant, impeccably restored home in one of New York’s most exclusive and historic enclaves, Tuxedo Park.
