Description

"This home is truly special. Designed and built as the builder's own personal family residence in 2009, this home is not your typical ""spec"" Arts and Crafts or Transitional style home. At the turn of the century, America's most celebrated architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, began pioneering an architectural style known as the Prairie School. This home is inspired by those timeless principals and is a shining example of Wright's enduring genius.

..."This home is truly special. Designed and built as the builder's own personal family residence in 2009, this home is not your typical ""spec"" Arts and Crafts or Transitional style home. At the turn of the century, America's most celebrated architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, began pioneering an architectural style known as the Prairie School. This home is inspired by those timeless principals and is a shining example of Wright's enduring genius.
In stark contrast to today's new ""Arts and Crafts"" style colonials, Prairie School architecture strives to integrate the home into the surrounding landscape and features strong horizontal lines, hipped roofs with broad eaves, horizontal bands of windows, heavy construction, craftsmanship of an era gone by. The overall goal is one of minimalism, where less actually becomes more. ""Curb appeal"" doesn't begin to describe the presence this home has when you arrive. Standing proud, but firmly anchored to the surrounding landscape, the home's Prairie School architecture is unmistakable. A flagstone walkway leads you past raised stacked-stone garden beds up to the impressive and deep front porch featuring natural tongue-in-grove fir ceiling, wrapped natural fir columns atop stacked stone piers, floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone bay window, and stunning designer period lights. Once inside the 7' tall cherry front door and into the entry hall, your line of sight will be drawn through the house and out into the backyard. Surrounding you are the hallmark details of Frank Lloyd Wright's vision. Horizontal bands of natural cherry wood trim flow around the top of every room and encircle every door and window casing. The natural cherry is featured in the wrapped columns, solid three-panel doors, custom built-ins, and cabinetry. The house is not dark but flooded with natural light from windows and open views in every direction. You are greeted by the large entertaining dining room that features a gas fireplace, without obstruction from glass doors, via the use of a true masonry chimney and floor-to-ceiling bay window overlooking the front porch. The main hallway leads you past the elevator servicing the main floors to a home management area with double door coat closet, desk area with built-in storage and a spacious half-bath for your guests.
The focal point of the home is the Great Room adjacent the chef's Kitchen, a perfect blend of family refuge and kitchen necessity. The kitchen features natural cherry cabinets, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances that surround the heart of the kitchen –a large oval shaped concrete island with bar seating, designer task lights, and integrated preparation sink. Just off the kitchen, storage abounds in the large butler's pantry, with a one-of-a-kind bank of transom windows beneath the glass front cherry cabinets, nearly floor-to-ceiling pantry with rollout shelves and convenient wine cooler, The Great Room is flooded with natural light from the five large picture windows and french doors leading to the outdoors. The center-piece of the room is a custom designed cherry wood entertainment built-in with open shelves and a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone tile, illuminated from task lights above. Step out the side exit to a fantastic enclosed outdoor entertainment area with a stacked-stone fire-pit, backyard Wolf gas bar-b-que, raised stacked-stone planting beds and paver walkways. The backyard is completely fenced and has been professionally landscaped with sculpted flower beds, accent boulders, and a delightful patio for al fresco dining.
This impressive home is spacious, but without excess, spanning across five finished levels. Six bedrooms (including two master bedroom caliber suites), five and half bathrooms with top-end designer tile and fixtures, two laundry rooms, a deep two-car garage, multi-zoned HVAC system, elevator, period details, and craftsmanship rarely seen.
Whitman/Pyle/Wood Acres school district"
