Creative inspiration! Where art and history converge, The James A. Michener House, built in 1949 by Herman Silverman, is perfect for those looking for a creative hideaway and to own a piece of history. The home, which sheltered one of the most influential authors of our time, is on the market for the first time in 25 years. Down a winding driveway and situated on almost 37 acres on a rural road in the heart of Bucks County, this sprawling mid-century modern ranch has warmth and character with stone walls, wood lined ceilings and the original chestnut wood built-in cabinetry, commissioned by Michener, that fill most rooms and provide a smooth transition from the surrounding landscape. The home was inspired by a visit to Falling Water and designed by famed architect and colleague of Michener, William Vitarelli and highlights wonderful, flexible space that includes high ceilings, 2 gorgeous stone fireplaces, 4 bedrooms, and 4 full bathrooms. Purposefully configured with walls of windows drenching it with natural light, creating a treehouse effect and offering tremendous inspiration. The kitchen encapsulates the original mid-century modern charm with vintage appliances and original wood cabinets.
