You must see this home to appreciate its return to glory!
One-Of-A-Kind Classic Mid-Century Modernist home designed by Thomas Hayes has been completely restored to its former glory with open floor plan, sleek lines, walls of glass, original terrazzo floors, six outdoor terraces, and two-story Casita. Completely rebuilt by Gary Jobe, preserving almost everything in the original 1955 plan. En suite spa-like baths and huge dressing room/closet. Casita with kitchen, bonus room, and rooftop terrace is the perfect in-law suite or guest quarters. You'll love the views of Lake Hamilton!
This home was featured in the O'Henry Magazine in 2015. Click here to read "Life In A Glass House" from the O'Henry. In May 2015, this home was featured on the Preservation Greensboro Tour of Historic Homes.
