Perched on a hill above greenspace, this home is truly unlike no other. The wall of windows fills the home with natural light and makes you feel like you are living in the trees. The vaulted open beam, wood ceilings and incredible floor to ceiling rock fireplace are focal points of it’s high end mid-century modern architecture.
Designed and built by Willard E. Schwarz in 1964 at which time the home was awarded the distinction of being a Gold Medallion Home, for innovative use of electricity. This two bedroom two bath treehouse backs up to George Himes park, is just 5 minutes from downtown in the Parkhill neighborhood exactly one mile from Hillsdale proper and Wilson High.
The flexible living space affords many possibilities. Perhaps the lower level could be converted to additional living space and used for a family member or as a rental, either long term or Airbnb.
