3470 Taylor Dr, East Lansing, MI 48823

Welcome to 3470 Taylor Dr., East Lansing. Custom designed and built in 1963, the architect is unknown, but the influences of Alden B Dow and Frank Lloyd Wright are unmistakable. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch has all the hallmarks: organic design, natural materials and repeating geometric patterns throughout. A textured slate floor runs from the foyer, down the steps in the sunken living room. The rich wood paneling is complemented by linear, rust-toned brick walls. Up-lighting in the triangular soffits run the length of the family room and sunken living room. In keeping with the aesthetic of incorporating the outdoors with the indoors, three rooms on the back of house open to the private back yard. From the approach you see all the classic elements of a Dow/Wright house, low pitched roofs, horizontal window bands and a low long-spreading structure. The Japanese Pagoda tree is the first hint of what's to come. Further details include the following: new roof, complete tear off in 2021, newer furnace in 2020 and hot water heater in 2021. A large two car attached garage replaces the former carport and offers additional storage. The electrical panel was updated in 2015 and the sellers loved this house but are excited to relocate for a fantastic new job opportunity.
