About This Home

This iconic mid-century modern residence was built in 1953 for hosiery heiress Elizabeth Stein. Designed by famed architect and professor A. Richard Williams, the home is a marvel of understated elegance paired with functionality, creating a uniquely ideal space for living and entertaining. The oversized door opens to the original slate foyer, separated by a floating architectural panel from the living room. The living room features a wall of windows overlooking the very private yard. Opposite the windows is a white brick wall in the Flemish Bond pattern with a wood-burning fireplace, a black slate surround, and an off-centered black slate hearth. The living room connects to the kitchen through the custom swinging wood door, the same hand-selected wood used in nearly all internal doors and trim. The kitchen features all modern conveniences but retains the mid-century style with its original St. Charles cabinetry. There are two bedrooms with original sliding closet doors and door-triggered lighting. The two bathrooms are carefully updated, marrying convenience with many original features. A large office/utility room with original flooring provides ample space for work or household tasks, ensuring efficiency and convenience. A highlight of the property is the 9x19 screened porch that seamlessly transitions into a sunken courtyard, extending the entertainment space into the serene outdoors. This bespoke masterpiece offers sophisticated design and thoughtful craftsmanship, unlike any other home in the area. In summary, this custom mid-century modern masterpiece is a testament to sophisticated design and thoughtful craftsmanship, offering an unparalleled blend of style, functionality, and potential for the discerning buyer.
