Architect designed California style mid-century modern home with stone and redwood siding on a maturely landscaped 1.75 ac. private lot. This home has an open floor plan with polished concrete floors and teak walls; floor to ceiling windows in the living and dining rooms; 3-4 bedrooms; 2 baths; LR w/FP, study or 4th BR w/FP, mahogany built-in library wall and a rooftop patio; family room/playroom, circular drive and oversized 3 car garage. Large fenced in backyard with large patios. Very desirable location on quiet street in established neighborhood. Convenient to Tri-City Area. This home, dubbed the "James M. & Eleanor Lafferty House" has been recommended by Governor Cuomo for inclusion on the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places. The 1948 mid-century modern home was designed by architect Viktor Civkin, the head of the General Electric Kitchen Institute--who helped revolutionize the design of the American domestic kitchen--for GE Research Center physicist James M. Lafferty, an inventor who earned 67 patents (including the electric car on display at MiSci) and helped develop the color television. The original kitchen has been completely renovated and opened to the dining and living room, but Civkin’s signature element, the kitchen triangle, has remained in tact.
