Traffic stopper! You've driven by this midcentury urban oasis. This Norman Sweet custom built home has elements of the Farnsworth House and references to FLW's Prairie style. You'll have to search for the entrances... but once you find them you are in for an absolute retreat in the middle of city! Designed in 1950 by local Architect Norman Sweet for the Eskind Family. This unique 3 bedroom, 3 full bath modern tree house sits across from Douglass Park and within walking distance to Cherokee Park/Big?Rock/Douglass Loop/Bardstown Road. Look out the ribbon windows on to a very private lot and backyard with Copper Beech and Japanese Maple trees and an Indiana limestone birdbath by Kentucky sculptor Don Lawler. An oasis in the midst of the city. Purchased from original owner and lovingly updated and restored: installed Marvin windows throughout the home in 2013, added a whole house generator, water softener, quartz countertops in the kitchen, and wired the garage for an electric car charger. Beautiful slate hearth in main living room sets off one of two wood burning fireplaces with new chimney crown and new damper caps in 2019. Solid wood interior doors/with custom veneers (look for the emus and the foxes), copper gutters, and beautiful wood floors are only a few of the details that make this a stunner!
