Property Description

TWO separate dwellings in one! Singularly iconic & architecturally-significant south-end gateway property, ideally located at the corner of Allen & Meadow Lane in the beloved community of Yellow Springs. This energy-efficient 1-story was built in 1955, inspired by & based on Frank Lloyd Wright's renowned "Detroiter" design—also known to FLW aficionados as "the Berm House." Lovingly improved & restored on both sides over the past 10 yrs, incl new roof, new kitchens, new baths (plus added 1/2 bath), solar panels, mini-splits, refrigerators, flooring—even both sewer lines replaced! Numerous FLW design features include the ribbon of eye-level windows throughout the house, bringing nature views into each room, & the Norman brick fireplace hub as the focal point in the main living area, with full-length picture windows overlooking the back yard. Attached garage connects the main house & the guest apartment, with kitchenette, built-in shelves, walk-in closet & ceramic floors. Mature landscaping includes specimen Birch, Redbud, Dogwood & Gingko trees, & evergreens, shade trees, & blossoming perennial shrubs. Cultivated native prairie areas in both front yards support pollinators with steady seasonal wildflowers & several beautiful ornamental grasses, earning the property certification as a Certified Wildlife Habitat from the National Wildlife Federation & greatly reducing the need to mow. Private, partially covered flagstone patio has outdoor garden storage unit. There's also a storage shed in the back yard. Proximity to the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail, Riding Centre, Antioch College Wellness Center, & 1000-acre Glen Helen nature preserve. All appliances stay. Seller is providing a premium Choice Home Warranty, including coverage for heating & cooling systems, plumbing, electric, & all appliances for a full year following the closing. One of a kind in this area, & now offered for significantly less than it recently appraised for by a licensed 3rd-party appraiser.
