The Glass House in New Canaan, CT, designed by Philip Johnson, is one of the architectural wonders of the Northeast. And, a newer home in the state next door seems to have built upon its pioneering modern style. Completely outfitted in glass from head to toe, this 10,000-square-foot residence in East Hampton is up for rent this summer asking a pretty penny.
The glassy marvel will cost someone $100K for June, $200K for July, and $250K for the final leg of the summer from August to Labor Day. If you want this house to be yours from Memorial Day to Labor Day, it will cost a whopping $550K.
Perhaps this is the perfect chance for a well-to-do city dweller to test drive what it would be like to own a luxe summer property in the Hamptons. Custom-built by Juan Figueroa, it certainly isn’t your average vacation home and will set high expectations.
The sightlines of the home extend from the front door all the way to the back, and you can quite literally see from one side of the house to the other. Exuding an industrial yet sleek feel inside, the kitchen features custom cabinetry from Scavolini and brand-new appliances from Gaggenau so an avid cook can feel right at home. The upper level has a slightly different vibe. Looking down at the main level and finally boasting some white walls, it has a minimalist, art gallery-esque atmosphere. It also holds all six bedrooms and bathrooms, with two primary suites sitting separately from the guest suites.
Uncluttered, clear tranquility seems to be at the forefront of the home’s design. The four-garage is as tucked away as possible: It’s underground. This tidy, glassy look puts a strong emphasis on the outdoor environment. Perched somewhat away from the beach, it’s surrounded by trees and boast its own pool and jacuzzi on the back patio. Even better are the views of the nearby 20-acre reserve.
Ryan Serhant’s namesake brokerage, SERHANT., exclusively holds this ritzy rental listing for summer 2024.
