A luxury home renovated by a Yale dean has gone on sale for $4.95m (£3.85m).

The property was originally built in 1969 by renowned architect Milton Klein who designed the 6,500-square-foot, mid-century residence with glass walls, stark lines and an open floor layout.

But years later, in 2014, the dean of Yale School of Architecture, Deborah Burke, completed a bespoke renovation on the house.
