Winnick Reatreat: A Modernist Residence.

Set within nearly three private acres of mature woodland, Winnick Retreat is a reimagined mid-century modern residence where architecture, landscape and everyday life exist in quiet balance. Originally built in 1962 designed by Yale's very own Herbert S. Newman, the home is defined by its low horizontal profile, deep roof planes, clerestory windows and expansive walls of glass.

A dramatic two-story central atrium draws natural light through the interior, while nearly every principal room maintains a direct visual connection to the surrounding trees, gardens and changing seasons.Inside, approximately 4,134 square feet of living space offers four bedrooms and three-and-one-half bathrooms. Warm wood, natural stone and glass create interiors that feel composed rather than formal. The renovated primary suite, custom kitchen and carefully updated living spaces respect the home’s architectural character while supporting contemporary life.

The property’s recent transformation extends far beyond the interior. Landscaped grounds now unfold as a sequence of private experiences: a swimming pool with fire and water features, pool cabana, barrel sauna, fire-pit courtyard, outdoor fireplace and Har-Tru tennis court. Terraces, balconies and garden paths connect living spaces to the natural setting.

Recreation and restoration become part of the daily rhythm. Mornings begin with a warm drink on the balcony underneath the tree canopy. Afternoons move easily between tennis, swimming and the sauna. Evenings gather around fire, surrounded by illuminated gardens and the warm glow of the house through glass.

Despite its extensive amenities, Winnick Retreat’s architecture remains the organizing force. The dark exterior recedes into the woodland, while the interiors open toward light, greenery and sky. Every addition has been designed to reinforce the relationship between the house and its setting.

Offering something increasingly rare: privacy without disconnection, architectural character without compromise, and a fully realized environment that cannot be replicated. It is not simply a collection of rooms and amenities, but a private modernist world shaped for art, wellness, gathering and a more intentional way of living.

Named in recognition of the Winnick family, whose stewardship forms part of the home’s architectural history. Offered Fully Furnished.

The Architectural Legacy of Herbert S. Newman

The architectural history provided for Winnick Retreat attributes its design to Herbert S. Newman, a respected New Haven architect and influential Yale educator. Newman earned a degree in American Civilization from Brown University before receiving his Master of Architecture from Yale, where he was awarded the Eero Saarinen Traveling Fellowship for Academic Excellence in 1959. He later founded the New Haven practice now known as Newman Architects.

Over a career spanning more than five decades, Newman contributed significantly to the architectural character of New Haven and Yale University. He also taught generations of architects at the Yale School of Architecture and helped lead its renowned Building Project, which connects architectural education with the design and construction of community buildings. His work reflects a humanistic approach to modernism—one grounded in proportion, natural light, material integrity and a thoughtful relationship between buildings and their surroundings.

Newman’s wider body of work includes the restoration and expansion of New Haven City Hall, the award-winning restorations of Union Station, Battell Chapel and the Yale Law School Library, as well as civic, cultural and residential projects throughout New Haven and beyond. His private residential work in Woodbridge includes the internationally published Round Hill residence, while Winnick Retreat is attributed to Newman in the property’s architectural history.
