TALIESIN REDUX ~ Architect John Henry Howe, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed this stunning Prairie style residence! You’ll appreciate the concealed front entry, strong horizontal lines, low-pitched roof, and integration with the wooded landscape that is indicative of this uniquely American style. Vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows emphasize a connection to nature in the open living-dining room. A wood burning brick fireplace, flanked by custom built-ins, anchors the room. A delightful screened porch cantilevers over the ravine, providing an unforgettable place of solitude. Efficient in design, the Pullman style kitchen is supplemented by a walk-in pantry off the dining room. The master suite is highlighted by a wall of built-in cabinetry beneath a bank of windows, overlooking the wooded setting! A walk-in closet and private bath complete the suite. There is plenty of space for hobbies and relaxation in the lower level family room (with cozy wood stove). Secured by a steel door, the walk-in pantry/storm shelter/safe room is an unexpected bonus. A second bedroom, full bath and large laundry room complete the walk-out lower level. Two additional lots, directly north of the house, extend to Coolidge Avenue, ensuring privacy and conservation of the natural surrounding. Don’t hesitate, live in a work of art today!
