[1] Sun Terrace is located in an isolated rural setting near the geographic center of New Hartford.

It is set on a wooded ridge southwest of the town center, its east flank traversed by Stub Hollow Road.

It is an asymmetrical but roughly rectangular mass, with a flat roof, cantilevered decks, and a prominent curved wall section.

Interior features include a curved soapstone fireplace, and extensive use of fluorescent lighting, a technology in its infancy at the time of the house's construction.

Lescaze was at the time also designing the PSFS Building, the nation's first International style skyscraper.
