About This Home

As of August 2025

Architectural Masterpiece in Historic Rush Creek Village.

Nestled within the nationally recognized Rush Creek Village, this remarkable 5-level Mid-Century Modern home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. Inspired by the principles of Frank Lloyd Wright and designed by renowned architect Ted Van Fossen, this home is a stunning example of organic architecture in harmony with its natural surroundings. Built by Richard Wakefield and envisioned by Martha Wakefield, it reflects the core vision behind this one-of-a-kind Worthington Schools community.

Set on a serene, wooded .5-acre sloped lot, the property features a stream, lush native landscaping, and multiple patios and balconies offering seamless outdoor access from every level. Expansive two-story windows flood the interior with natural light, highlighting hardwood floors, clean lines, and the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces.

With 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and 2 gas fireplaces, the home's thoughtful design maximizes space, privacy, and comfort across its five levels. Every corner reveals a unique vantage point of the surrounding landscape, delivering a peaceful, nature-immersed experience year-round.

This is more than a home—it's an iconic piece of living history in one of Ohio's most architecturally significant communities.
