Designed by Michigan’s Architect Laureate, Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice, & recipient of The Diplome de Grand Prix at the 1937 Paris Exposition, Alden B. Dow, this is a rare gem & pristine example of the coveted mid-century modern home. In his correspondence with the family for whom the home was built, Dow described it as ”a very pleasant & easy house to care for.” This sentiment is confirmed throughout the roughly 2,900 SF of finished living space, abundant creative storage, & multiple outdoor living areas. The two-owner home has been meticulously maintained with a keen interest in preservation. The original mahogany doors & multiple custom built-in wardrobes & architectural accents gleam as if just constructed. The primary suite & both the upper & lower level living spaces, each… …with a wall of windows, have spectacular views of the wooded lot & abutting U of M Arboretum. The lower level lives as graciously as the rest of the home, offering space for both cozy family living & a home office, Access to the large brick patio allows private life & entertaining to spill over to the outdoors. Both the south & north sides of the homes are flanked by covered, private patios. “Gardens never end & buildings never begin” – A.B. Dow. Exit the backyard’s private gate into the Arboretum for a serene walk through The Glades, down the hill to skirt along synchronistically monikered Dow Prairie, & continue on the path along the peaceful Huron River to U of M Hospital (easy 1-mile walk), or beyond to Central Campus & downtown – not an unpleasant commute. The double wide parcel (2 platted lots) totals .73 acres of privacy & beauty. There is a conservation easement on the lot w/out the home preventing future building & assuring natural preservation. Architectural planning/design correspondence & blueprints are kept in the home, & archived at the Alden B. Dow Home & Studio in Midland, MI. (abdow.org)
