Built in 1957
According to the listing,
Aiji Tashiro original modernist design built for Dr. Barney Rabold in 1957 designed with an open flow where every room opens to another centering around a 15 foot fireplace in the family meeting room just off the library. Tashiro, according the North Carolina Modernist Homes website, was a landscape architect for the Howard - Hickory Company then partner at the Abee - Tashiro Architect Firm in Hickory, NC. Much of the original lush landscaping exists today meandering over the 2.7 acres with over 50 Camellias, Rhododendron and Magnolia trees. The original green house (currently under renovation) still exists on the property.
Plenty of original elements visible in these listing photos and loads of light pouring through those giant windows in the main living space make this one a real charmer.
