Mid century

The family wanted an open concept with minimal interruptions from the structure of the home.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed the southern side of the First Unitarian Society Meeting House to combine the steeple and the church in one feature.

With a meticulous restoration and fascinating past, this recently documented American System-Built Home in Wisconsin is a true architectural gem.

Built in 1962, the four-bedroom, two-bath home has already been spruced up with modern features that respect the home’s original midcentury modern character. Highlights include updated bathrooms with Carrara marble and walnut cabinetry, a private backyard, and a renovated kitchen with a pretty impressive "edible garden" off the side.

The 1962 midcentury at 130 Grotke Road is conveniently located just a short drive from Manhattan. A bright blue door pops amidst the home’s black exterior siding.

Outside of wonderful natural lighting, the living room is warmly lit by antique wall sconces and a large brick fireplace.
