| Notes: |
MCM fans rejoice! 1677 Willowood is a lasting testament to the mid-century era. Inspired by the boldest of all MCM campuses, the General Motors Technical Center, (where the original owner worked for 30 years), this atomic ranch is bold, dramatic, visually powerful, & structurally amazing. Expansive use of commercial grade materials make this home unique & beguiling. The expansive great room is the homes anchor, giving access to the rest of the home. The kitchen feels both commercially capable AND warm and inviting. There is wood cabinetry, stainless steel shelving, exposed brick, and brand new high end gas range. The lavatory is conveniently located off the kitchen (out-of-the-way, yet very handy). To the front of the house, you will find an open room that could be used as a den, office, or even a 4th bedroom (w/ an appropriate divider). This room also has a closet, & access to the utility room, which houses many of the updated mechanicals. The hallway leads to the 3 bedrooms, (primary feat. 2 closets), a throughly modern & updated full bath (w/ custom tile work in the shower & around the tub), & a terrific laundry room which is spacious, bright, & inviting. The NW bedroom closet has a hatch which opens to the “tunnelâ€, a crawl space down the center of the home! Changing visually throughout the day & evening, the materials & finishwork here are striking in nature, & range from high end to raw.<br />
The setting of the home is equally wonderful. At the very end of a dead-end block, the 100x300 ft lot is perfectly utilized. The home is set back for privacy, there is a fenced area between the house & garage, (3 car in size w/ 2 newer doors), & a gazebo welcoming all to the expansive, open lawn area that completes the backyard. The HVAC system inc. new heating baseboards in 2016, & the addition of a heat pump system in 2017. The roof, electric, plumbing, flooring & drywall work was done in 2016. The concrete drive (w/ built in turnaround), was installed in 2019. This is Art you can live in, Make Home Here. |
