A MINORU YAMASAKI ORIGINAL!One of a handful of private residences designed by Minoru Yamasaki, the architect behind the World Trade Center and the only one of its kind to come to market in years. Completed in 1960 & held to its original lines ever since, this Bloomfield Township ranch has been comprehensively renovated for the way people live today, without surrendering a single element that makes it a Yamasaki.The house is organized around light. Walls of glass open the main living spaces to the grounds on both sides, skylights run throughout, and the original terrazzo floors carry the eye from room to room. The great room centers on a single-sided fireplace flanked by Yamasaki's original stainless-steel benches, with his smoked-mirror and full-height storage wall intact. The kitchen was fully rebuilt around a GE Cafe double oven, gas cooktop, KitchenAid appliances, ice maker, trash compactor, 2 beverage refrigerators and a walk-in pantry. A private 11x11 ensuite off the kitchen suits guests, staff or multi-generational living. The primary suite opens to its own walled sanctuary: tigerwood cladding, quartz wall panels and a retractable awning, steps from the 45x20 heated gunite pool. The finished lower level adds a bedroom, full bath and extensive storage. Mechanicals are done: HVAC and primary-wing roof 2020, driveway 2019, dual 50-gallon high-recovery water heaters 2018, EPDM membrane roof 2012.Now is your chance to own a piece of history. Rare and irreplaceable: No one can build another Yamasaki!Photos to follow.HIGHLIGHTS:Documented Minoru Yamasaki design, 1960Original terrazzo, smoked mirrors, stainless fireplace benches, storage wallWalls of glass and skylights throughoutFully rebuilt chef's kitchen with walk-in pantry45x20 heated gunite pool and resort-style groundsPrimary suite with private tigerwood & quartz sanctuaryFinished lower level with bedroom and full bathDedicated officeBirmingham Schools
