“The five homes we’ve selected tell an abundant and varied story about the history and residents of New Castle from the early 1900’s to the present,” says Houlihan Lawrence agent and New Castle House Tour co-chair Tory Miller.

Tickets can be purchased at the New Castle Historical Society’s office at 100 King Street in Chappaqua; the fee is $50 for members and $75 for non-members. Crabtree Kittle House on Bedford Road will also be offering a luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for an additional $25.

Serene water views abound from this exceptional modernist home set along Howland Lake in one of the region’s most beautiful waterfront settings. The original owner was captivated by the over 5-acre property because he knew this was the perfect site for his dream home – a dynamic and highly architectural residence that would organically blend with the stunning landscape. Master architect Alan Goldberg, a principal of AG/ENA, the esteemed firm founded by the legendary Harvard 5 architect Eliot Noyes, brought the owner’s dream to glorious reality. Here amid this striking and unspoiled landscape, he created a masterwork of glass, stone and cedar that takes full advantage of the spectacular lakeside setting.
