Set on a .98-acre, tree-shaded lot, this well-built and architecturally significant home was designed by Ted Maffitt and constructed in 1952 by Wayne E. Carter, a former railroad engineer and master cabinet maker. Carter’s craftsmanship is evident throughout, with exquisite wood detailing that includes a gracious staircase, richly paneled living room, custom library bookcases, fine wood floors, and solid wood doors—many crafted from rare materials originally designated for luxury Pullman rail cars that he had collected over the years. The warmth and character of the woodwork create an inviting and timeless atmosphere rarely found in homes of this era. The library, a true showpiece, opens to an elevated terrace through beautiful French doors and offers serene views of the expansive, private backyard shaded by mature trees. The main level features a spacious primary suite and a guest bedroom, with two guest bedrooms and shared bath situated upstairs. A circular drive leads to the rear-entry two-car garage, which provides access to the lower level. The basement includes generous storage, exercise area, & workshop area, plus utility room, adding both functionality and versatility to this exceptional property. Take a look at this exceptional reasonably priced property!
