From the Agent: "This modern glass house marries 180-degree waterfront views of Fishers Island Sound with a minimalist space by acclaimed New York City architect Thomas Phifer. Glass walls offer an unparalleled connection to the land through the lens of modern architecture. The effect is a singularly unique island retreat in a spellbinding setting. The 4,600-square-foot house is built as a single-story, 180-foot-long rectangular glass pavilion, 28 feet wide, with a basement underneath. A limited palette of glass, steel, black carbonized bamboo flooring, and white walls set the tone for the streamlined interior spaces. A reflecting pool extends outside to the terrace, while an indoor/outdoor moss garden mirrors the surrounding grounds. White gallery walls, perfect for displaying art and highly curated furnishings, are the only concessions to interior decorating."
