Description
A rare, classic example of early 50's Modern MidCentury Architecture: Designed by George Foster Harrell in 1952, the house sits on almost 3 pristine acres, and boasts more than 260 feet of waterfront frontage views on the Tar River. The home is an authentic homage to Modernism: the language of horizontal glass, wide overhangs, Cypress and Oak Paneling throughout, and ceiling beams are a few of the elements incorporated in the design. The tightly stacked Georgia stone exterior grounds the house within its setting, resembling a natural rock outcropping. The interior layout is anchored by massive stone fireplaces between the two bedrooms and the living / exterior patio. The Primary Bedroom and Living Area feature vaulted ceilings with integrated cove lighting. A floor to ceiling glass sliding door opens the Living Room to the Sun Room, thereby merging the two spaces into one. The pool, with a separate bathroom and storage area, along with a curved stone patio (with fireplace for fall evenings) complement the experience of living in this home. The property is documented in the NC Modernist Archives.Show Description
