There are ENDLESS reasons to love this Ruxton treasure. This Frank Lloyd Wright inspired prairie house is steeped in history and has been maintained and updated with the most meticulous attention to detail. Built as a bungalow in 1910, it was purchased in 1919, serving the dual purpose as residence and the Fraulein School. During WWI, it became the Bluebird School. Over 74 years, this was a local private school, last known as the Ruxton Country School. In 1993, the current owners bought this home and over the years, have transformed it into today's architectural masterpiece. Every feature of this home has been thoughtfully considered, giving special attention to design, conservation and sustainability. The craftmanship of the woodwork is flawless. The light fixtures and stain-glass enhancements are impeccable. The updated systems unite the home owner's pursuit to blend a well-designed home that is both attractive and efficient. Your first impression upon walking in the foyer is the beautiful stone floor. Each piece was hand-selected from the Jones quarry.
