Property Description

Built in 1960 for Robert H. Taylor, this home is of modernist design, set back from the street; a perfect example of "less is more". Built to an extraordinary standard with brick exterior, concrete and steel floor system, and metal clad expanses of glass, it unfolds, petal like, as you proceed through the house. Privacy is paramount as you enter this residence, with no hint of what lies behind the entry wall. Take a few steps, and dramatic lake views unfold, acting as the backdrop for the elegantly scaled interior spaces. Two private wings flank the public spaces. The living room is over twelve feet high, having floor to ceiling windows overlooking Lake Carnegie. Custom crafted mahogany shelves were built in both the living room and family room/study to hold Mr. Taylor's extensive collection of books (7000, to be exact!) . The living room fireplace has stunning period tile surround, and there is access to the double terrace. These features combine to make this room the sweet spot of the house. Virtually every room has a lake view that is hard to beat, and the lot itself slopes ever so slightly, creating easy access and entry to the lake, whether for boating or skating, plus there is a floating dock. You also may not realize how unusual it is to have a lot that seamlessly merges with the water---no terracing needed here! Offered by it's second owner, this could be the chance of a lifetime to own such a piece of history! Pictures are from previous tenant.
