The 1939 Gogol House!
The 1939 Gogol House!
When a house stands the test of time for 72 years, you can be sure it's a notable property! Designed by architect Raphael Soriano in 1939, this thoughtfully planned house is not only attractive but rooms are situated for quiet in the office and distance between you and those staying in the guest suite. It works! That's probably why we haven't seen it up for sale previously. It's hard to let go of a house that gives everyone space. Makes for happy families! Ahead of his time, Soriano understood the value of applying commercial construction techniques to residential buildings such as prefabricated steel and aluminum structure.
We love that a 2,000sf roof deck goes with this streamlined 2,779sf contemporary home and there is also a large deck off the living room large enough for a big seating area and dining table with lots of room left over. From there the view through the mature trees to the city beyond is stunning. Designed for today's living, imagine how it was perceived back in the day it was built. According to the requirements of the National Register of Historic Places, you might want to get it on the list due to it's age and architectural significance. If any restoration of the exterior becomes necessary down the road, it would give you the ability to apply for a grant. Said to be the finest and most pure example of this architect's work will also be a significant point to make in your initial application.
For those with great affection for mid-century design, this one is a true winner!
