Read the full listing description
Set on 4.49 private park-like acres, this home is a unique blend of modern living and Frank Lloyd Wright design. The inspiration for the Kitchen and Den came from the Usonian styled Pope-Leighy house. The detail on the doors in the Master Bedroom Suite came from a Usonian chair FLW designed. The Family Room is fashioned after the FLW Prairie style. Magnificent intricate woodwork is truly the highlight of this home. The Kitchen has open shelves, brick, a long center island, stainless steel appliances and built-in dog bowls. The bright, sunny Family Room overlooks the 75' x 14' lap pool and has built-ins, a graceful stone fireplace and a gorgeous ceiling wood motif. Master Bedroom Suite has an updated bath, built-in headboard and tables that can accommodate a king size bed with a little alteration. FLW Sprite statue by the front walkway and FLW Sprite statue with Sceptre that overlooks the pool both convey with the home as well as the FLW planter. Home has a generator, built-in stereo system on both floors and outside, outdoor shower and hot tub on the extensive deck. New pool pump 2019, new pool liner 2013 and new filter 2018. Pool was installed in 2001 and maintained by Nejame. Many of the furnishings are available. The care and thought that went into making this home special is evident everywhere you look.
