Authentic Arts & Crafts Prairie-Style Home — Timeless Charm Meets Thoughtful Desig Welcome to a truly distinctive residence that beautifully blends the handcrafted warmth of the Arts and Crafts movement with the bold horizontal lines and harmony with nature that defines Prairie-style architecture. This home is a rare find — offering not just a place to live, but a piece of architectural history. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the hallmark features: low-pitched rooflines, broad overhanging eaves, and a strong horizontal emphasis that grounds the home in its natural surroundings. The exterior showcases earth-toned stucco and woodwork, accented with handcrafted stonework and custom details that reflect the integrity and craftsmanship of early 20th-century Design. Inside, the home showcases an exceptional level of artisan detail — most notably, original and reproduction hardware and fixtures throughout, sourced exclusively from the renowned Milwaukee Brass Company. Known for their commitment to period-authentic design and unmatched craftsmanship, Milwaukee Brass pieces add timeless elegance and authenticity to every room. Interior lighting is another standout feature. Throughout the home, you’ll find handmade Arts and Crafts-style lanterns and light fixtures, many custom-designed to complement the home’s original architecture. Providing warm amber lighting, these fixtures provide both function and ambiance — a perfect match to the handcrafted woodwork, built-ins, and original millwork found throughout the Home. Step inside to discover built-in cabinetry, and original woodwork that speaks to a bygone era of artisan quality. Generous banks of Frank Lloyd Wright custom-made Andersen art glass windows invite soft natural light while offering privacy and a connection to the outdoors. The heart of the home is the open-plan living and dining area, anchored by a substantial fireplace and framed by wood custom trim. The kitchen thoughtfully balances period-appropriate details with modern convenience — ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. This kitchen features a gas range, double ovens, double dishwashers, a center island with seating and large butler's pantry and laundry room. Upstairs, you’ll find spacious bedrooms, a media room, and a library offering treetop views and timeless architectural detail. The primary suite features custom closets, a deck and En-Suite bath with soaking tub and step-in shower and ample light. The guest bedrooms and bathrooms offer additional sleeping for large families or overnight guests. Outside, enjoy a private oasis: a covered, screened porch, a salt water pool, a separate hot tub, manicured landscaping, and a peaceful garden — perfect for morning coffee or evening al fresco gatherings. Whether you’re an admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright’s influence or simply seeking a home with soul and character, this Prairie-style gem offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of art you can live in.
