This stunning 1957 mid-century modern home was designed and built by the visionary and talented architect, John Pfluke. This first- and largest- house built in Rush Hills, was celebrated by RG&E as the energy-wise “Home of the Future.” It was toured by thousands, and featured on TV and radio. Mahogany built-ins and cabinets abound throughout the home, as are double, auto-lighted, closets. The bright kitchen has tons of storage, counter space, a 5-burner Thermidor gas cooktop, and a sliding pass-through to the built-in dining room buffet. The adjacent laundry room is convenient, and has a huge pantry. The gorgeous living room features the fireplace, a floating credenza, and an incredible, original, George Nelson “bubble lamp!” This remarkable home has a heated, full, finished, walkout basement with a den, fireplace, workroom, office, and family room. The bathroom in the lower level was designed to be easily converted into a full bath to create an in-law apartment or luxury hideaway. There are comfortable areas to enjoy, everywhere. Host parties and family gatherings on the wrap-around covered deck, terrace, large shady yard, and multiple living spaces, or just enjoy the peace and quiet! Loads of large Anderson windows and glass doors let in plenty of light, adding to the indoor/outdoor feel of this Usonian-designed house. Separate sleeping, cooking/eating, and living, wings all come together at the central stone fireplace. (Gas upstairs, wood downstairs.) During summer, enjoy the beautiful, free-form, gunnite pool (with a slide,) just off the master suite, in the very private back yard. There is plenty of storage outside, too, with a garden shed and barn/garage. The back yard is fully fenced, gated, and dog safe! This house is both a design treasure, and a comfortable, efficient, home, in a wonderful location!
