Located within the unique and vibrant neighborhood of Five Fields. Built in 1952 by the founder of the Bauhaus movement, Walter Gropius and his firm, The Architects Collaborative (TAC) and later updated by its original owners. The home was designed and placed on the chosen lot to best admire and appreciate the grounds and surrounding professionally landscaped private yard. Abundant natural light pours in from atrium glass walls and doors complementing an open floor plan. A screened in porch, lap pool and hot tub offer a spa like environment within your own home. The Five Fields community pool and common land are the center of the community and often host events for the neighborhood to enjoy. This is a rare offering and not to be missed!
