Looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life? Curbed has rounded up the best real estate listings just a short drive away from New York City. This month, we're featuring a mid-century modern home in Chappaqua designed as an homage to Frank Lloyd Wright.

Frank Lloyd Wright-Inspired Home in Chappaqua

This 1979 home, designed by local architect Charles Napoli, is a true gem for fans of Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic style. Its unique layout boasts triangular main rooms, a curved interior wall, and a stunning atrium-like wall of glass windows. The house is filled with wood paneling, and while the virtually staged kitchen may not be as charming as the actual kitchen with its square tiles and green walls, the home offers an abundance of character. Enjoy the enormous stone patio overlooking the woods and a terraced garden. This home is surprisingly affordable for the area, with nearby homes going for $1.8 to $2.8 million.

How to get back to the city: It's an hour-and-20-minute drive, or an hour train ride from the nearby Pleasantville Metro North station.
