The original design intentions of this attractive 1950s contemporary style home continue to shine through, making it a great house for today and tomorrow.

A number of talented architects including William Floyd, Harwood Taylor,  William Jenkins and Lucian Hood designed houses in this neighborhood.  It is not known who designed this house.

Situated on a spacious tree shaded corner lot, the architect-owned house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two car carport. The living room features a tall sloped ceiling, long unpainted brick wall, hardwood flooring and a glass sliding door leading to the patio and back yard.
