Sobrang Astig, Astig, Astig. Ang makapangyarihang Mid Century Modern na arkitektura na ito ay nakatago sa 8.6 na acres ng Hudson Valley, na mahigpit na nakikihalo sa kalikasan sa pamamagitan ng mga bintana mula sahig hanggang kisame. Halos isang oras sa hilaga ng NYC sa Westchester County, ang "The Mothership" Roundhouse ay isang nakakamanghang MCM na estruktura na dinisenyo at itinayo ni Robert Cika sa ilalim ng utos ng American Icon na si Jackie Gleason na nahulog sa pagka-akit sa mga UFO. Natapos noong 1959, ang bahay ay nasa ilalim ng konstruksyon sa loob ng 5 taon. Ang pangalawang "Spaceship" ay isang mas maliit na estruktura na ginamit bilang bunk-house at glamping sa mga nakaraang taon. Para bang may mga Spaceships na dumapo sa kagubatan ng Westchester! Ang detalyadong, pambihirang sining ng pananahi ay halata sa kahoy na gawa, halos lubos na naka-bent, isang proseso na ubos ang oras na sining. Isang Scandinavian na tagagawa ng barko ang inutusan upang likhain ang disenyo ng kisame na kahawig ng anyo ng mga bangka habang ang gawaing metal ay kahanga-hanga rin - ang ilang mga vents ay kahawig ng stylish na isda. Ang mga sahig at mga fireplace ay gawa sa Italian marble. (Ayon sa sabi-sabi, bumili si Gleason ng isang buong marble quarry sa Italya upang matiyak ang kakayahang mag-angkat ng sapat na de-kalidad na marmol!) Marami ring mga alamat ang pumapalibot sa propyedad na ito - kung ang mga pader ay makakapagsalita. Ang mga sikat na bisita ni Gleason ay sinasabing kinabibilangan nina Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio at Nixon para sa kanyang mga midnigh soirée. Sa orihinal na may mahahabang Bars (3), isang Game Room (na may opisyal na Shuffleboard table) at ang maluho na Marble Dance Floor, ang bahay na ito ay naisip para sa pagdiriwang. Ngunit ang "The Mothership" ay nakakapag-relax din at ang isang tao ay nag-eenjoy sa magagandang tanawin at isang maharmonya na ugnayan sa Kalikasan na ibinibigay ng mga bintana mula sahig hanggang kisame. Iba pang mga katangian: Tatlong Silid-Tulugan, dalawang Buong banyo, isang Half Bath, Stainless Steel Curved Kitchen, maluwang na Livingroom Area, Dining Room, bilog na Library at Opisina. Kahanga-hanga na marami sa mga orihinal na detalye at maraming built-in na cabinetry at mga aparador ay napanatili. Dagdag pa, ang "The Barracks," isang 1930's na Stone Colonial House ay kaakit-akit at maaari ring magsilbing guest house. Bukod pa rito, mayroong maingat na inaalagaang at ganap na napapalibutan ng bakod na malawak na gulayan ng gulay at herbs na may gardening shed. Isang pambihirang pribadong retreat sa kanayunan, ang propyedad na ito ay isang nakatagong yaman. Malapit sa mga championship Golf Courses, ang Ilog Hudson, West Point, Dining, Shopping, Musika at mga Metro North Train Stations para sa kaginhawahan. Simple lang, "Kung gaano ito ka-sweet."

Off-the-Charts Cool, Cool, Cool. This Mid Century Modern architectural masterpiece is tucked away on 8.6 Hudson Valley acres, blending seamlessly with nature through floor-to-ceiling windows. About one hour north of NYC in Westchester County, "The Mothership" Roundhouse is a stunning MCM structure designed and built by Robert Cika under the commission of American Icon Jackie Gleason who was fascinated by UFO's. Completed in 1959, the home was under construction for 5 years. A second "Spaceship" is a smaller structure that has been used as a bunk-house and glamping over the years. It is as if Spaceships have landed in the woods of Westchester! The detailed, extraordinary craftsmanship is evident in the woodworking, almost entirely bent, a process which is a time-consuming art. A Scandanavian shipbuilder was commissioned to create the ceiling design which resembles the shape of boats while the metal work is also incredible - some vents resemble stylized fish. Floors and fireplaces are made of Italian marble. (Gleason was said to have purchased an entire marble quarry in Italy to ensure the ability to import enough quality marble!) There is much folklore that surrounds this property too - if the walls could talk. Gleason's celebrity guests are fabled to have included Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio and Nixon for his midnight soirees. With the original swooping Bars (3), a Game Room (with official Shuffleboard table) and the glamorous Marble Dance Floor, this home was imagined for entertaining. Yet "The Mothership" is also relaxing and one enjoys beautiful views and a harmonious connection with Nature provided by the floor-to ceiling windows. Other features: Three Bedrooms, two Full baths, one Half Bath, Stainless Steel Curved Kitchen, spacious Livingroom Area, Dining Room, circular Library and Office. It is remarkable that many original details and numerous built-in cabinetry and closets have been preserved. Additionally, "The Barracks," a 1930's Stone Colonial House is charming and can serve as a guest house. Plus, lovingly cultivated and fully fenced expansive vegetable and herb garden with gardening shed. An exceptional private country estate retreat, this property is a hidden gem. Close to championship Golf Courses, the Hudson River, West Point, Dining, Shopping, Music and Metro North Train Stations for convenience. Simply put, "How sweet it is." © 2025 OneKey™ MLS, LLC
