Post Art-Deco Concrete Round House

As self-taught architects, this amazing couple incorporated rounded interior corners, stucco finished interior and exterior walls, concrete sill plates under the windows, curvilinear entry overhangs, flat roofs and signature drainpipe adornments that were all common design elements.

Renovations just completed with a new custom wood door, new roof, updated plumbing and HVAC, and new electric complete with new panel and service connection. All new kitchen with stainless appliances, new full bath, new flooring, LED lighting, newer energy efficient vinyl windows and on-demand water heater. Home has a large bonus/flex room that would make a perfect third primary bedroom.
