About this home

There won't be a scrum in the front yard & you don't need a Garryowen to win this one. It's not that kind of Rugby! It's a gem-of-a-mid-century designed in 1961 by William Sprinkle & reimagined in 2018 by Kent Wiles. Nestled atop a rise on 1.39 acres, enjoy wooded views from nearly every glorious window. Gorgeous kitchen, every BR is en-suite, a wood-paneled study where you are likely to write your first novel. Did you know you are a novelist?? You are here! Big 2-car GAR; patio, deck beckon you outdoors!
