Description
Frank Lloyd Wright's Oscar B. Balch House is a pure, perfect example of Prairie School Architecture. The home's exterior features his trademark horizontal style featuring low-pitched rooflines & wide eaves. Inside, you will find an open floor plan and will be treated to grand vistas of the streetscape, stunning art glass, woodwork and many original light fixtures. The Balch House has been meticulously restored and expanded. The addition, designed by John Eifler & Assoc, features a large kitchen/family room that celebrates Wright's original design while adding the much needed space and efficiency for today's lifestyle. Fine architectural detail continues to the 2nd floor with the Master BR featuring double balconies, four additional BR's and an office. Two of these rooms could be used to create a master suite. There is also a small enclosed porch and a large outdoor deck on the 2nd floor. Winner of the 2006 Historic Preservation Award. All this in a central, walkable location!
