The complementary relationship of this well designed 1950s modern house to its beautifully landscaped almost half-acre ravine-front site results in forming a truly attractive property. The long-term first owner was the well known landscape architect Joe P. Teas of Cornelius and Teas nurseries. His work strengthened the indoor-outdoor flow of the still mostly original house which includes such sought-after mod features as: tall sloped ceilings, a natural stone fireplace wall, stone floors and planter boxes, stained wood walls, special lighting, numerous built-ins, skylights, and wall to wall glass bringing in the picturesque setting. Beyond the glass, there is a large curved wooden deck with built-in seating extending into the naturalistic reserve complete with rock-enhanced trails through the sloping terrain. Three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, and a four-car garage complete the scene.
