A 1981 modernist masterpiece designed by Charles Gwathmey, the architect behind the 1992 renovation and expansion of the Guggenheim, has hit the market for $5,695,000. The Kent, Connecticut, home known as “The Falls” is set on over 40 acres, offering unobstructed views of the Litchfield Hills, walking paths, a waterfall, a Deborah Nevins-designed garden, a tennis court, pool, and more.

The 5,400-square-foot open floor plan home has four bedrooms, five full baths and one half bath, and is now accessible after an architecture-preserving renovation by the sellers, who purchased the home in 2002 from the original owners. The recent renovation and addition was led by Michael Arad, the designer behind the fountains at the World Trade Center Memorial.

Light-filled interiors styled by Stephen Sills complement the Gwathmey-designed structure, which includes curved walls, a glass-covered corridor, beamed ceilings, and more. Although set on a wooded nature oasis, the home’s location is just 90 minutes from New York City.
