This incredible Circa 1926, Frank Lloyd Wright influenced, Prairie Style Craftsman Bungalow is nestled in an upscale neighborhood filled with beautiful Craftsman homes. HGTV recently did a story on homes in the neighborhood and our home was featured in the August 2007 issue of Old House Journal (See "Ask OHJ").
The home is set high on a terraced landscaped front yard containing many prairie perennial plants. Evergreen, fruit, Norway Maple and Japanese Maples trees dominate. The perennials bloom in a seasonal array and are fully visible from the home's 31 windows .
The house was designed and built by Fred Arnold an Engineer/Builder who studied the "Prairie School" style of the Craftsman form. He added a Colonial Revival front entrance to reflect the transition time period.
The home has been lovingly maintained and has original 1926 certified oak flooring and woodwork. Thirty-one (4/1) multi-paned top sash windows ganged together, ground hugging prairie design, pyramidal hip roof, front facing massive chimney and deep eaves round out the beauty of this lovely home.
The bath has all original brass fixtures, 1926 porcelain tub, sink and cabinetry. The kitchen reflects a 1920s -30's look with plate railing, open cabinetry, original doors and hardware, new GE glasstop electric self cleaning oven. Energy efficient Whirlpool refrigerator and dishwasher all sit on top of the original 1926 Douglas Fir polished floor. The home has an ice room, old pass through window from the kitchen to the dining room, with a built in china corner cabinet. Wood French doors and prairie style chandlier finish out the formal dining area. Original Craftsman doors, light fixtures and hardware with a built in linen closet with drawers and much more! The original butler's pantry and study can easily be reclaimed from a 1940's closet renovation.
A state of the art corn/wood pellet stove has been installed in the dining area. The stove burns renewable fuel which is a great "green" addition. The primary heating system is a gas fired boiler with historic radiators. The corn stove has a glass front allowing a warm view of the crackling fire. The stove offers an alternative heating source.
