Realtor Comments
PRICE REDUCED! This innovative mid-century modern home, also known as ”The Stream House, ” was designed by renowned architect, Bernard A. Webb. Built and featured in House Beautiful magazine during the 1950’s, this house was Webb’s personal home. With its location in mind, he created this revolutionary design for cooling comfort. Webb’s aim in designing a climate-wise house was to create an oasis within the tepid climate of Macon, Georgia. He used the surrounding foliage to his advantage by setting the house in a valley and shading it under a canopy of trees. A design ahead of its time, it boasts a pooled/cooling area, created from a natural flowing stream, that waterfalls just below the home. Materials of stone, slate, and heart of pine allow a continuum of nature indoors. Webb’s design resulted in picturesque bedroom views as well as soothing acoustics provided by the cascading waterfall feature.
