Welcome to Glenbrow, a 2.5 acre hidden estate, built in 1940 as the vision of three of Frank Lloyd Wright's student architects; each achieving singular notoriety. The three including Tony Smith; a celebrated sculptor, utilized Wright's principles of organic architecture designed to inspire & enrich the lives of it's inhabitants. From the moment you arrive, the enchantment of the property is undeniable. Stone quarried on-site forms striking fireplaces & accent walls throughout grounds the design in its natural setting. The landscape becomes an extension of the architecture as views of the wooded ravine & meandering stream change with the seasons. A seamless flow exists between the inside & outside with multiple French doorways + outdoor patios that invite al fresco dining; one with a wood-fired oven. A high-performance kitchen has soapstone counters, coffee bar & built-ins for the serious epicurean. Open to the kitchen is a large dining room for entertaining, with views of the natural setting. The living room features a restored built-in sofa & table made of old growth cypress, wood-burning fireplace and corner niche for work & creativity. An open concept primary suite serves as a tranquil retreat capturing views of the Zen garden & ravine. A skylight enhances the openness while the bathroom features an air-jet tub, shower with an illuminated glass block wall & pair of carved granite sinks atop the vanity. The walk-in closet with birch cabinetry & well-appointed laundry sit adjacent. The 4-story 'Tower', designed in 1964 by Ted van Fossen, has been partially restored with a new roof, Marvin windows & internal framing ready for the next owner to finish. The tower, connected to a carport with attached studio & now used for storage, overlooks the property. For those that appreciate architecture, this is the opportunity to own a piece of Central Ohio's legacy.
