Set across over 7 acres in Aboite Township, this extraordinary 4 bedroom home is a testament to American mid-century modern design. Designed in collaboration with Russell Wright, a leading figure in the American Modern movement, the house has been lovingly cared for by just two families across six decades. The property is defined by craftsmanship & respect for the natural landscape. Mature trees & seasonal gardens surround the home, offering privacy while allowing nature to play a central role in the living experience. A newly built concrete heated saltwater pool with refined modern decking provides a haven for long summer days outdoors. The foyer features a custom wood stairwell & stacked stone wall, leading into expansive living areas framed by floor-to-ceiling windows & a stunning library wall. A full-height stone fireplace anchors the main room, complemented by rich white oak paneling throughout. The living & dining spaces flow into a fully renovated chef’s kitchen. Quartz countertops, a large working island, custom cabinetry including a sleek pot filler, a deep farm sink, & premium appliances that create a kitchen equally suited for family meals or entertaining on a grand scale. The first floor also boasts a full bath, generous laundry room & an abundance of built-in storage, as well as a private study / office space, with the potential to convert to a 5th, main floor bedroom. The large master suite offers peaceful garden views & a spa-like bathroom with quartz countertops, a walk-in ceramic tiled shower with a rainhead shower system , standalone tub, Kohler fixtures & a generous closet/dressing room. Three additional bedrooms, each generous in size & light-filled, share two beautifully updated baths. A walk-out basement expands the living space with a second fireplace, a cement-tiled wet bar, & ample storage. All major systems—including wiring, plumbing, & mechanicals have been modernized to meet today’s standards. The expansive driveway leads to the garage with even more storage. Though close to schools, shopping, & dining, the property is a true private oasis. Whether enjoying a quiet moment alone, gathering with family, or hosting friends, this home adapts effortlessly to every occasion & season. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved, historically significant mid-century modern home where timeless design & modern convenience live in perfect balance right in the heart of Homestead schools!
