Property Description
Set on a .98-acre, tree-shaded lot, this architecturally significant home was designed by Ted Maffitt and built in 1952 by master craftsman Wayne E. Carter. His work is showcased in rich wood details, including a staircase, paneled living room, custom bookcases, fine floors, and rare wood doors sourced from luxury Pullman rail cars—creating a warm, timeless feel. The library opens to a terrace overlooking the private backyard. The main level offers a primary suite and guest bedroom, with two more bedrooms upstairs. A circular drive leads to a rear-entry two-car garage and a lower level with storage, exercise, workshop, and utility spaces—making this exceptional property both functional and well-priced.
