According to previous owners, the house was designed in 1955 by Ellis Jacobs, a prot©g© of Frank Lloyd Wright. Wrights architectural style is evident through the extensive use of skylights and expansive walls of glass that fill this single-level home with an abundance of natural light and create a seamless connection between the inside and outside areas. Wrights influence is also seen in the open floor plan, built-in cabinetry, large brick fireplace and the use of other natural materials. The spacious living room and adjacent kitchen, both with garden access, create the perfect space for large and small gatherings. Virtual walk-through available here: https://vimeo.com/402326195
