A central eat-in kitchen serves as ‘the hub of Wrights built-in furniture designs’, which he also incorporated into every room to provide ample seating, living and storage space. That’s a huge plus. Talking of rooms, you’ll find three bedrooms and two bathrooms here, as well as that eat-in kitchen, a living room, dining room. family room, utility and laundry.
Lots of space outside too, over six acres apparently, predominately woods, but with a creek, sculpture garden paths, terraces and patio, all of which blends with the inside space. That’s what good design is all about.
