One of the stars of New Canaan’s legacy of mid-century modernism, the Wiley House, designed by Philip Johnson in the early 1950’s, was restored by Roger Ferris + Partners and is now being offered for $12,000,000.

Philip Johnson’s Restored Wiley House For Sale

Located at 218 Sleepy Hollow Road in New Canaan, Connecticut, the restored 5,616 sqft. mid-century modern residence by Philip Johnson of The Glass House fame, is now on the market.

With four bedrooms and five full baths, Johnson’s double-height glass pavilion with its living room and subtly hidden but generous galley kitchen, cantilevers out over the fieldstone base.

The slope of the land allows the lower-level rooms to have full views of the property.

The vintage swimming pool with its original diving pad is a twin to the circular pool at Johnson’s Glass House.

A reconstructed 19th c. barn functions as an art gallery.

Both the new pool house built into the hill and the reconstructed 19th c. barn/art gallery form their own separate courtyard.

The pool house and garage are both set into the hillside with a single exposed wall recalling the plinth of the original house.

A stand of towering Hickory trees creates a cathedral space around the house.

The 2012 Restoration
Roger Ferris + Partner’s project expanded the program of the original Wiley house, integrated new structures into the spectacular setting of the house with a design rooted in respectful contextual response and a commitment to conservation strategies.
