Fashion designer Cynthia Rowley’s home in Montauk has hit the market for $1.1 million, Curbed reported. The bungalow was designed in the late 1930s by architect Donald Deskey for the 1939/1940 World’s fair. The idea was to “overcome the public’s aversion to factory-built homes by using open spaces, new materials, and practical decor,” according to Curbed. The
500-square-foot property was built in the 1940s, but could be expanded because it’s on a .93 acre lot. Rowley already has plans for a 2,500-square-foot house, plans that she could share with the new owner. Rowley is likely to renovate and move into the property on Seaside Avenue in Montauk that she bought for $820,000 in June after the sale. [Curbed]
