Bold Architecture Meets Everyday Luxury in This Modern Manhasset Home

Tucked away on 1.3 serene acres in the heart of the North Hills neighborhood of Manhasset, a Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired contemporary estate is now available for $9.2 million.
Designed by renowned architect Tim Maldonado and crafted with an artist’s eye for detail, the four-bedroom, seven-bath residence at 7 Folie Court offers a rare fusion of sculptural design, organic materials, and luxurious livability.
“This home is a true original,” says listing agent Irene Rallis of Douglas Elliman. “From the moment you step through the Parisian-carved doors, you’re immersed in an environment that’s been curated for both visual impact and ease of living. It’s unlike anything else on the market.”
From its horizontal lines and cantilevered roofs to its warm wood tones and textured stone, the architecture evokes Wright while articulating its own distinctly modern sensibility. Inside, soaring ceilings, skylights, and floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out, washing the living spaces in natural light and garden views.
A floating steel staircase hovers over a tranquil indoor water feature, while flamed Canadian granite floors and bespoke European oak cabinetry showcase the level of material sophistication throughout.
“It’s not just beautiful, it’s smart,” says Rallis. “The home is filled with architectural ‘wow’ moments, but everything is thoughtfully designed to support everyday life.”
Measuring approximately 7,200 square feet, the residence flows with gallery-like openness yet offers intimate moments throughout. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances from Miele, Subzero, and Wolf, along with a built-in coffee station and custom pantry.
Each of the home’s four bedrooms is a private retreat, and the primary suite takes luxury to new heights with dual walk-in closets, a spa-like bath, a steam shower with dual rain heads, a soaking tub, and a private balcony overlooking lush landscaping.
The grounds are a curated sanctuary: mature fig trees, a koi pond, vibrant hydrangeas, and a heated pool and spa create an atmosphere that’s equal parts resort and sculpture garden. A standout feature is the Waterfall Pavilion, a strikingly designed guest cottage that earned a design award from the Society of American Registered Architects. Inside, vaulted beam ceilings and a full kitchen provide the perfect setting for hosting or unwinding.
“Every inch of the property has been designed to inspire,” Rallis adds. “You feel it in the main house, and you feel it in the Waterfall Pavilion. It’s a home that sparks creativity.”
While the home’s design gets much of the attention, its infrastructure deserves equal praise. Highlights include a heated three-car garage, a 1,000-bottle wine cellar, a lower-level catering kitchen, five-zone central AC, dual generators, and a rubberized roof. It’s a residence built for beauty and for longevity.
Just 30 minutes from Manhattan and with easy access to the Hamptons, the property is ideally located for those who seek both tranquility and convenience. It’s a haven for collectors—not just of fine objects, but of fine experiences.
“This is a home for someone who sees architecture as art,” says Rallis. “Someone who values privacy, beauty, craftsmanship, and a bit of drama. It’s timeless and totally unforgettable.”
