Dramatic award-winning Mid-Century modern home for sale for the first time ever! The personal residence of noted architect and professor Tivadar Balogh, he designed this home and began construction on this home in 1958 on a secluded 2.7 acre parcel in Plymouth township. The home was built from drawings that won the Progressive Architecture prize in 1957. Described as a light box floating in the woods, the home is comprised of a simple cube clad in redwood. The main floor has the master bedroom, kitchen and soaring two story living room with a wall of windows on the south side. The upstairs has an additional bedroom, full bathroom and a loft with an additional nook with skylights. The lower level has a family room surrounded by windows which was formerly used as the owner's studio. The Balogh House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. In preparation for sale, the home has been painted and stained and had carpeting replaced but all details have remained unchanged from it's original construction.
