Live out your mid-century modern dreams in this architect-designed home situated perfectly on over an acre of land near Bishops Corner amenities. Robert Carroll May, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed the home using materials that look just as fresh and modern today as they did in 1951. The combined use of redwood, white oak, slate, brick, and copper create warmth throughout the home, and the generously sized windows bring the outdoors in, providing a view to the ever changing landscape throughout the seasons. The living and dining spaces open up to each other and are accented by a large, copper-hooded fireplace with a surrounding conversation area. The kitchen is sleek and minimalistic, with Miele appliances and ample storage. Unique lighting throughout the home was designed by Richard Kelly, an American architectural lighting pioneer who collaborated with May to create a lighting plan for the home. His notable projects include the Glass House and the Seagram Building. A spacious primary bedroom suite and a second ensuite bedroom complete the upper level. Downstairs is a large recreational family-room space as well as the third ensuite bedroom. Head outside from either floor to enjoy the fully fenced-in, park-like yard dotted with specimen trees and shrubs. Access the covered rear porch from the dining area, sized for all of your outdoor needs and perfect for entertaining. An added feature is access to Eisenhower Park through the gate at the rear of the property.
