Nestled just steps away from a trail that connects to the Oak Ridge Greenway, this rambling rancher offers an ideal setting for both avid morning joggers and sunset stroll enthusiasts. Venture through the quiet, wooded lot that spans approximately 0.27 acres, lined with mature trees that evoke a sense of tranquility and calm. Bathed in natural light, this remarkable home was designed to bring the outdoors inside, creating a calm and soothing atmosphere. Originally owned and designed by Dr. Sheldon Datz, a celebrated scientist known for his contributions to the molecular beam technique, the home was crafted in collaboration with his architect, JM Cleveland, who studied under the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright. Together, they created not just a living space, but a piece of history. The highlight? A cantilevered living room that exemplifies Wright's influence and enhances the connection with the natural surroundings. The open layout allows for a seamless transition between the living and dining rooms, with the entire back wall lined with windows—making you feel like you're in a treetop oasis. The stacked stone fireplace completes the cozy ambiance. The kitchen features granite countertops, tiled flooring, and sleek stainless appliances, complemented by the original metal cabinetry, adding a touch of nostalgia to the modern upgrades. The home retains much of its original charm and character, enhanced by thoughtful maintenance and improvements over the years. There are three generously sized bedrooms on the main level, including a primary suite with a full ensuite bathroom. Descend to the lower level to find a spacious recreation room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace, an additional bedroom, and a full ensuite bath—perfect for hosting guests or unwinding with family. Lower level laundry and storage room, exterior access for additional storage.
