Good Architecture Still Gets a Premium

 

An awesome new listing hit the market less than a week ago, and word on the street is that the house is already in multiple offers.

The property above is a 1959 home designed by Edward H. Fickett, one of the notable architects from the Mid-Century Modernist Movement.  This architectural gem is located in Nichols Colony, an enclave known for its incredible Mid-Century homes, many of which were designed by Fickett himself.

Completely remodeled while maintaining the original aesthetic of Fickett’s design, the home features a pool, an open floor plan including 4 bedrooms and according to the MLS 3.25 baths.  3.25 Baths???  You might say, I’ve heard of a half bath (powder room) and I know what a ¾ bath is (only a shower, no tub), but what the heck is a ¼ bath?  The answer is: there is no such thing.  The house has 2 full baths, a ¾ bath and a ½ bath, totaling 3.25 baths.

Enough about the spot in your casa where you do your business.   The house is approximately 2,510 sq.ft. and is listed at $1,895,000.  As I said before, the house is in multiple offers so there’s a good possibility that the house will go OVER asking.  For the seller, this is a very good price for a house of this size, especially in this area of the hills.  Just goes to show you…architectural significance has value.
