Description

The word snowflake has been co-opted but this house is here to claim it back. This unique and artful home is tucked into one of the biggest lots in Duke Forest and sits amid a terraced landscape that is reminiscent of Italy with a hint of hippie modernism. It’s a true mid-century gem, having been designed in 1962 by Harwell Hamilton Harris, whose work is rarely found but perennially desired. It is a perfect blend of timeless, functional design while still offering a heaping dose of the wow factor...The word snowflake has been co-opted but this house is here to claim it back. This unique and artful home is tucked into one of the biggest lots in Duke Forest and sits amid a terraced landscape that is reminiscent of Italy with a hint of hippie modernism. It’s a true mid-century gem, having been designed in 1962 by Harwell Hamilton Harris, whose work is rarely found but perennially desired. It is a perfect blend of timeless, functional design while still offering a heaping dose of the wow factor that calls to you from the Dwell centerfold. Its distinctive architectural details are subtle and tasteful while lending warmth and character. The floor plan provides a versatile three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms upstairs, with a separate kitchen along with two bedrooms, full bath, and family room on the lower level. Walls of windows are on offer throughout this home as well as multiple doors leading to cozy outdoor nooks and patios for early morning coffee sipping and birdwatching respites. I could go on, but basically—if you’ve been holding out for something really special, this is it.
