About This Home
As of June 2018The house was designed and crafted by local architect, Elmer Adams. It is reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright design features. The property is a park like setting of 8.41 acres. Some renovation is needed, but this amazing house has so much to offer as far as abundant, bright living space and an unusual floor plan. The oval entry foyer is most welcoming. A home office with built-in book shelves and storage cabinets is where Elmer Adams employed several staff architects. The kitchen has a retro feeling with abundant sunshine and a retractable window. Floor to ceiling windows offer a vista like perspective from the living and dining rooms. Adams, was well ahead of his time and created multiple living areas within the house's floor plan. He cleverly hid an oversized two car garage behind the house, but provided easy interior access to the kitchen and storage areas. The second story has multi purpose rooms that could be utilized as additional bedrooms or sitting areas. A gardener's paradise awaits.
