Custom features include brick flooring, a corner copper-topped fireplace and petrified wood bench in the living areas, exposed interior and exterior wood beams, and over-sized eaves. The home has approximately 3,385 square feet of living space. More details: Ju-Nel Mid-Century Modern Houses a "D" Home magazine article. |
