This iconic modern home in Westchester, surrounded by natural beauty, asks $6M

This captivating modernist home at 15 Colonel Sheldon Lane in Pound Ridge, N.Y., asking $5,985,000, is currently owned by “Dirty Dancing” producer Mitchell Cannold. The home was designed by architects Gilles Depardon and Kathy Ogawa; the surrounding grounds, reimagined by landscape architect Glenn Ticehurst under Cannold’s direction, were inspired by Maya Lin’s “Wavefield” at Storm King Art Center. The home offers six bedrooms, with walls of windows throughout for a front-row seat to four seasons of nature’s finest performances.

The sleek yet elemental glass-, wood- and stone-clad house that anchors this woodland estate is set on 6.5 acres. Within, the home offers 8,147 square feet of living space.

With the appearance of a mid-century masterpiece, the house is a 21st-century smart home. A glass-clad foyer overlooks a double-height living room with a fireplace. Walls of wood-framed windows reveal the pond and forest just outside.

The Scavolini kitchen features an island for prep and seating and an indoor/outdoor breakfast room. In the dining room, sliding doors open onto a courtyard for al fresco dining.

On the first floor, you’ll find the primary bedroom, with a spa-style bath and deck. All bedrooms have private step-out patios for morning coffee and contemplation.

Also on this level are two more bedrooms that share a bath in addition to two half-baths. A library offers a place to dream and read; a home office keeps things in perspective with a room-length window to the trees beyond.

The home’s lower level holds three more bedrooms and more bathrooms, including a half-bath for pool guests. Also on this floor are a home theater, a laundry room, and a heated three-car garage.

Set into the lawn, a 50-foot pool and a four-seat hot tub are surrounded by a pond. Known as The Sanctuary, the home is a popular set location, and has been featured in ads for multiple brands including Diet Coke, Samsung, Zara, and Bruno Magli.
