Imagine if we treated our homes as more than just 4 walls, rather as places for ideas to grow & flourish – safe spaces where an inquisitive mind can learn, experiment & discover. In raising their family, Millie & Gene Dresselhaus did exactly this, they ensured that their Jason Heights home was a place to pass along their lifelong love of education & science. With Arl center amenities nearby & Menotomy Rocks Park abutting the backyard, curiosity & wonder couldn’t help but run wild. Inside, each space fostered learning ~ an office where future scientists spent hours reading, a lower level “creativity room” where little hands sculpted & played instruments, a kitchen & dining room where family recipes were celebrated. At the end of the day, the fireplaced front to back living room was always the place to join together. On the upper level an updated bath & 4 spacious bedrooms provided peaceful spaces to reflect & recharge. The time has come for a new steward to take over this treasured gem!
