About This Home

As of October 2014

Designed in 1956 by award winning architect Paul Tay, the Darrow Residence displays the essence of midcentury modern living with open beams that run inside to outside through walls of glass. The open concept living room, dining room and kitchen flow seamlessly together, enhanced by a stone and copper clad fireplace and clerestory windows at one end, and expansive glass leading to an intimate patio at the opposite end. This home is rich in original features, from the built-in birch cabinetry in each room, tongue and groove beech paneling, doors, hardware and lighting, to a custom terrazzo shower stall with roman tub. The residence exhibits quality craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. The kitchen is refreshingly original with birch cabinets, original stainless steel wall oven and cook top, Formica countertops, and a bar-height counter for casual dining. Light from the front entry clerestory window spills over the kitchen cabinets creating a greater sense of space in the central room of the house. The outdoor patio is accessed through two large sliding glass doors and finds a pleasant balance of sun and shade from the deep eaves of the structure. This iconic midcentury modern home is not to be missed.
