Description

Some names earn their weight quietly. John C. Williams began building his in 1954. By the time he built 3517 Chaucer in 1967, his name meant uncompromising work. // You can read it in the house: the unshakable frame, the gracious proportion, the fine materials, the bespoke casework. Sixty years prove it. Not a crack in the brick, not a dip in the floor. // And you can read it in how the present owners refined and expanded it. They added a heated pool. Built a screened porch. Reimagined the lighting...Some names earn their weight quietly. John C. Williams began building his in 1954.

Reimagined the lighting with a full suite of Visual Comfort fixtures. Renovated bathrooms. // Then they turned to the details most never think to touch. Upgraded light switches. New oak treads. Solid brass hardware. Metal-trimmed recessed lights. // John C. Williams set the standard. Every owner since has honored it. 3517 Chaucer is a signed declaration of beauty.
