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.
