Built in 1955 from a modified version of plans from the Better Homes and Gardens 'House of the Year' in 1955, this home sits on a large private lot less than 1.5 miles from Duke Chapel. Modern design when it was built, the form and function of this home still prove to be appealing as many who walk through it say "This is a nice house". Needs updating but sound and functional as-is.
