You have just found one of the best Mid-Century Modern homes in the Hickory Metro Area. It is one of the few homes with a true butterfly roof design and a cantilevered great room that looks out over the stream bordering the west side of the property. Frank Lloyd Wright inspired, vaulted ceilings, reflective cove lighting, built-in furnishings, exterior raised walkways, windows from floor to ceiling letting in lots of natural light, and period fixtures make this home a true gem. The original blueprint drawings are available to see and will be included in the home sale. You’re not likely to find a better example of this style of architecture for years to come. Just as impressive is the setting this home enjoys. Although you are in walking distance from the nearest grocery store, this home has the feeling of a quiet retreat.
