Fashions have changed since 1936 when this home first graced its sunny corner. Previous residents added remodeling that is now ready for refreshment. Fortunately they preserved its essential design elements. The most striking features are the red tiled roof, arched interior doorways, mansard ceilings (living, dining, and upstairs bedrooms), and the split-level plan. But take a closer look to find some original door plates, the clever mail slot, and perhaps an original light fixture. Take a moment to examine the decorative trim around the fireplace obscured by multiple layers of paint. It references the Mayan Revival style of Frank Lloyd Wright. How brilliant it would be uncover and restore this unique element! This house deserves an owner who will uncover and cherish its treasures.
