Classic Usonian style home is looking for a new owner! Based on the Frank Lloyd Wright solar hemicycle design, it features the front wall of windowed doors facing south, multiple skylights for natural lighting, wide roof overhang to aide passive heating and cooling, flat roof cantilevered so water sheds to the berm at the north facing rear of the house. (Imagine all of this built in New England in 1956, as remarkable as its original owner!) As much thought and planning was given to the property with a fence mirroring the half circle of the house so the front yard landscaping is integral to the living area. The driveway entrance featured a lily pond and natural plantings while a well planned greenhouse allowed the owner to indulge exotic plants, especially orchids. The open floorplan and radiant floor heat also make the construction wonderfully contemporary. Now it needs someone to restore its many unique features; come see!
