This 1950s house in Connecticut comes with six acres of land, and is listed for $14 million by Sotheby’s International Realty. Designed by Johnson for the Wiley family, the house aimed to reconcile “the (perhaps) irreconcilable: modern architectural purity and the requirements of living families.” (Architectural Record, June 1955).
