    A Surprise Philip Johnson in Newburgh

    The interiors of this Philip Johnson home have been meticulously restored, as shown in this listing photo.

    Part of living in New York City is thinking about moving out of New York City. Each month, we’ll round up the best listings within commuting-ish distance, places where entire houses go for the cost of a “junior one-bedroom” (or less), but you’ll have to fix your own toilet.

    This month we have a restored Philip Johnson and an eco-ish home in Pine Bush fit for a Bond villain.

    $2,900,000: 3-bedroom, 2-bath

    The house is essentially one rectangle, as shown in this listing photo, that overlooks the Hudson River.

    The owners took liberties with the kitchen, which is a collaboration with Swiss furniture company USM Modular, as shown in this listing photo.

    A chance to own a piece of architectural history. A pair of preservationists discovered this Philip Johnson home in disrepair five years ago and bought it for a mere $650,000. Dubbed the Wolfhouse, this striking rectangle of a home was built by Johnson in the 1940s for the Wolf family, who were business owners (and, interestingly, Jewish — their son said they didn’t know about his Nazi sympathies). The 4,000-square-foot house has an open-floor plan and views of the Hudson River. The meticulous renovation took four years and cost $1 million, bringing the home back to its more striking origins with an eye toward historical accuracy. The façade was replaced with cypress-wood siding, the roof got an upgrade, and some thoughtful liberties were taken with the USM cabinets in the kitchen. Once restored, it became an Airbnb and a cultural center, which was used in part as a space for LGBTQ+ artists and artists of color — an effort to contend with Johnson’s past. Now it’s back on the market.

    How do I get back to the city?

    It’s an hour-and-a-half drive.

    So what do I do if I live there?

    Marvel at the restoration, marvel at the fact that you had $2.9 million to spend. Keep hosting cultural events.

    $630,000: 4-bedroom, 2-bath

    One of the best touches on this renovated farmhouse is the covered wraparound porch, as featured in this listing photo.

    The interiors of this house have been renovated, and the living room has extra-tall ceilings, as shown in this listing photo.

    Classic farmhouse vibes without the leaky sink and creaky floors (or the burdens of being a farmer at a moment of food-system collapse and ecological peril, haha). The kitchen has been renovated to include a double farmhouse sink and there’s a soaking tub in the primary bathroom. It’s a lofted space making it more open and airy and the whole thing sits on 17 acres, which include your own creek. You can sip your coffee and observe it all on the covered wraparound deck. It skews a little high for the area but just got a $35,000 price cut, so it could be a moment to try and take advantage.

    How do I get back to the city?

    It’s just over a two-hour drive.

    So what do I do if I live there?

    Go to the Hurleyville Performing Arts Centre. Make friends by saying “I have my own creek.”

    $799,000: 3-bedroom, 2-bath

    The upper-level deck featured in this listing photo is right along the tree line, integrating it into the natural space.

    The house is decorated with shoji screens and big glass sliding doors, as shown in this listing photo.

    Is this house, with its bamboo paintings and koi pond and “Asian-inspired” listing description, owned by an Asian person? A mystery. Either way, the glass sliding doors, shoji screens, and cathedral wood ceilings all give the split-level home an open, serene feel. The bathroom and kitchen need some updating, but the house is nicely integrated with its surroundings, including the wraparound porch nestled among the tree line. Similarly priced homes in the area are beige and cookie-cutter, so this one feels a little special.

    How do I get back to the city?

    It’s around a two-hour drive.

    So what do I do if I live there?

    Go rock climbing at the Gunks and hiking at Minnewaska State Park.

    $2,500,000: 4-bedroom, 5-bath

    This house sits on eight acres that are “boulder-strewn,” as shown in this listing photo.

    The living room has a bachelor-pad-style fireplace and opens up into the backyard, as shown in this listing photo.

    The perfect house for a villain looking for a new lair and is both concerned enough about the environment to want to go electric but not concerned enough to scale down. Built in 2012, the house has a copper-colored steel wall blocking the house off from the road (very nefarious). The all-electric house is LEED Silver certified and comes with all the modern tech finishes you could think of — solar panels on the roof, geothermal heating, Nest security cameras, and heated floors. There’s a sauna and a bachelor-pad-style fireplace. We’re not sure if it’s a plus, but your backyard is “boulder-strewn.” It’s pricey for the area, but you’ll save on energy costs.

    How do I get back to the city?

    It’s about a two-hour drive.

    So what do I do if I live there?

    Go hiking in the Awosting Reserve. Plan the next bad thing you’ll do.
