"Out here, the tees sprangle and grow until they are finished. The creek flows fast only in a splattering rain". This home was built in the 1960's by the Piper family. With the help of SIU's Paul Lougeay, they designed a home which takes advantage of the natural surroundings without disturbing them. Redwood exterior siding blends into the trees and old bricks pave the patio and pathways. The main level features a living and dining room separated by a fireplace. The kitchen opens to a screened porch perfect for summer meals. The master suite is on the main level with dressing area, full bath and ample closets. Downstairs is a family room with woodburner fireplace insert, bedrooms at both ends, office and workshop area. As a bonus, a lot on Dogwood Rd. in Lake Chautauqua subdivision is included so that the new homeowner can kayak, fish and play at the beach as a memeber.
