House hunting just got easier! Chances are high that the name Moby rings a bell (if not, his full name is Richard Melville Hall and he is a famed American musician and music producer). Earlier today he posted on Facebook sharing the listing for his stunning Pound Ridge, New York home. The 1957 David Henken home is a true midcentury dream!
Motivated to Sell
From his Facebook page:
“Ok, this might seem odd..I have a beautiful house in Pound Ridge, NY. It was designed in 1957 by David Henken, an architect who worked closely with Frank Lloyd Wright. It’s one of the most beautiful mcm houses I’ve seen, but to be honest, I’m rarely there. So, I’m going to sell it and take the money to: support progressive political candidates, support my animal rights foundation, produce documentaries, and fund scholarships.”
Moby then links to the Trulia listing. He also posted about the home on his Instagram.
