One of the first modern homes built on Long Island is on the market for $1.799 million. The annual property taxes are $21,045.
Located on Woodhollow Lane in Northport, the house was constructed in 1935. Its designers, Robert L. Davison and John Calendar, utilized new construction materials and techniques at the time to bring their vision to life .
Many of the trees and greenery comprising the landscape were planted back then, said listing agent Maria McBride, of The Agency. The house is secluded and lies at the end of a 300-foot driveway.

"It’s just vibrant with life, and the impressive power of being surrounded by 40- to 50-foot trees is pretty special." The property is secluded and not visible from the road, McBride added — it sits on a 2.86-acre lot, and features a 330-foot driveway.

"It’s been almost 100 years since it was built, but it feels very contemporary," McBride said. Around back, there is an in-ground, 16-by-32-foot pool with its own pool house. And in this recent heatwave, the shady trees around the property provide another respite, McBride said.
