3. Ever thought about living in a glass house? This Philip Johnson beauty even comes with a modern art gallery.
Sotheby's International Realty.

The legendary architect Philip Johnson built his first Glass House in New Canaan, Connecticut, in 1949. A few years later, he followed it up with the Wiley House -- another stunningly modern home located in the bucolic, well-to-do town. Commissioned by the real estate developer Robert Wiley, the glass, steel, and stone residence was later restored and expanded by Roger Ferris + Partners. Spanning just over 5,600 square feet, the impossibly chic residence boasts marble floors, soaring ceilings, a vintage swimming pool with its original diving pad (a twin to the circular pool at Johnson’s iconic Glass House), a new pool house, and a modern art gallery, which is housed in a converted barn. The home’s living areas are cantilevered over a stone base that conceals four bedrooms -- providing spaces for both the exhibitionist and the more modest type. For the past 21 years, Frank Gallipoli, president of an energy trading firm and an avid art enthusiast, has called this unique residence home. You could too if you have $14 million to spare.

The breathtaking view, dotted with boats, stretches from Cape Cod’s iconic Nobska Lighthouse to Martha’s Vineyard. You breathe in the sweet, salty air and smile. Sound too good to be true? It isn’t! This waterfront, Queen-Anne style estate comes with a four-story lookout tower, astonishing views, and a private sandy beach complete with a dock. Additional attributes include heartwood oak flooring, beautiful Arts and Crafts touches, a California redwood staircase, and a marble and porcelain tile fireplace.
