Historic home of artist Leonard Ochtman for sale in Connecticut
By Jennifer Gould – New York Post – December 2, 2020
The 1891-built Cos Cob home of art-world power couple Leonard (inset) and Mina Fonda Ochtman is now asking $1.4 million.
The five-bedroom home at 35 Mianus View Terrace was renovated in 2010.
When famed Dutch-American landscape artist Leonard Ochtman moved to Connecticut in 1891 with his wife — Mina Fonda Ochtman, an accomplished American Impressionist painter in her own right — they built a house in Cos Cob and dubbed it Grayledge.
Now on the market for $1.4 million, the five-bedroom home at 35 Mianus View Terrace is where the couple became founding members of the Cos Cob Art Colony (whose famed members included Willa Cather and which helped launch NYC’s iconic Armory Show) and held classes for young artists boarding at the nearby Bush-Holley House.
The Ochtmans would also go on to become founding members of the Greenwich Society of Artists, where Leonard served as president.
Original details in the home, which was renovated in 2010, include the hardwood floors, the staircase and the solarium.
