Property Description

*All offers are due by Saturday, June 6 at 12:00 PM* Designed in 1957 by architect William P. Smith Jr. of Plymouth for Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Finkenbiner, this residence is a striking example of architecture shaped by organic design principles. Built during a period when architects increasingly explored the relationship between architecture and nature, the home reflects many of the ideas popularized by Frank Lloyd Wright and the organic architecture movement where materials, light, landscape, and structure work together as one unified composition. Set along the shores of Dunham Lake within Dunham Lake Estates and spanning Lots 148 & 149, the home embraces its setting in a way that feels intentional from every angle. Large expanses of glass frame views of the water and surrounding landscape, while the low horizontal profile allows the structure to settle naturally into the site rather than dominate it. The lake setting enhances the property experience, creating a quiet retreat surrounded by mature trees and natural beauty. The architecture immediately reveals its Mid-Century roots. Slate flooring extends from the exterior directly into the interior spaces, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out, a hallmark of organic modernism. Wood ceilings add warmth and texture throughout, while extensive stonework grounds the home in natural materials connected to the surrounding landscape. Inside, the home unfolds through a series of open yet carefully defined spaces filled with natural light. Expansive windows and custom-designed louvers encourage cross ventilation and reinforce the home's connection to its environment. The result is a space that feels remarkably comfortable, functional, and responsive to the changing seasons. Many original details remain beautifully intact, including custom tilework in the bathrooms, built-in cabinetry, and multiple fireplaces that anchor the living spaces with warmth and scale. Like many of the great MCM homes, the design focuses not on ornamentation, but on craftsmanship, pr
