Age Defying

House of the Day: 1932 Contemporary That's Held Its Looks

Built in 1932 for the renowned American muralist Ezra Winter, this 8,000-square-foot house/studio in Northwestern Connecticut is the housing equivalent of Suzanne Sommers -- it is simply age-defying.

Now listed for $3.45 million, the 82-acre estate has had some touch-ups through the years -- the studio was renovated in 2000 and the kitchen in 2006 -- but the bones of the Contemporary have held up well. The four-bedroom house, with 6,600 square feet, has four levels and is perched atop a long winding driveway with grounds that include original terraces, stone walls, hiking trails, gardens and a natural waterfall. The original painting studio has 30-foot ceilings and 24-foot tall windows.
