A private residence (low HOA) in desirable Parkview Hills. This unique mid-century modern, Japanese inspired design by architect Norman Carver, Jr. is a real hidden gem in the woods, offering privacy, serene views and incredible style. Featuring Carver's signature post and beam aesthetic, floor to ceiling windows, vaulted ceiling, skylit massive central fireplace and wrap around deck, this 1973 4 bed, 2 bath home with 2048 sqft over two levels offers a remarkably efficient floorplan. It has been sensitively restored by the couple that wrote the book about Carver in 2019. A 24x24 detached garage also designed by Carver offers excellent storage while complementing the main building. Mechanicals have all been updated (furnace, AC, water heater, all appliances, plumbing etc) while its original features have been retained and celebrated including the colorful tri-tone kitchen cabinets (another Carver signature) and the herringbone motif that is echoed in the new wood floors. Extensive landscaping to enhance drainage, gravel perimeters, native planting and tree work was also carried out. Desirable Parkview Hills amenities five other Carver homes within a short walk and offers excellent private trails through the woods and down to the lake.
