i’m ambivalent to home ownership. i was born with two restless legs, and one of them always seems to be partially out the door. although others claim that renters are just throwing their money away — i value the freedom (pseudo or otherwise) from chains that dwelling in someone else’s responsibility provides. i’ll happily “invest” in that.
but… i just love this little house! it’s so elegantly simple and yet overwhelmingly charming. compact enough that you’ll deeply consider the addition of every new possession.
the moment i saw it, i thought, “i could build a home like this with someone i love.” leaving it here just in case.

All the furnishings you see are vintage pieces (minus the BoConcept bed) that the owners have curated themselves. As if that’s not romantic enough, the story of this house’s resurrection will melt your heart. The current owners purchased this mid century home in a terrible state. It had had many owners, was abandoned for years and it was completely falling apart, but they were smitten. They tracked down the original architect and asked if the house could be salvaged. Arthur Witthoefft, the original architect who designed the house in 1957, informed them that the property had been built on solid rock and the steel frame was surely not going anywhere. That’s all the owners needed to hear. They hired him to help them restore the home as close to its original state as possible. Witthoefft (now 91 years old) wholeheartedly agreed. Imagine, you build a house, and more than 50 years later, you get asked by two passionate people who clearly appreciate your work and care deeply about where they choose to live, to restore your own project?! It’s full circle, it’s the circle of life - it’s awesome. And the interior is just magnificent - expressive, authentic.
