Striking Mid Century Design

Modernist Lakefront Estate

The home, created by Dansk Design founders Martha and Ted Neirenberg, showcases the best of modernist design from its unique peaked roofline to its streamlined interior spaces accented with burnished teak. Equally impressive are the dramatic views of the lake that can be enjoyed from virtually every room of the house. A revolutionary departure from traditional design when built in 1961, the home stands today as a great example of how great design never goes out of style.
