W.C. Beardsley's '16 Arts & Crafts
WC Beardsley's '16 Arts & Crafts of Homewood.
Look-alive Purveyors- this is craftsman bliss for 360,000* (Listing in Rare Form) we’re seeking a conscious steward for her torch pass @ 1001 Thomas Ave N
This arts & crafts era example was stick framed in 1916, the peak era for this burled craftsman era was 1912-1920. The 1922 craftsman bungalow essentially provided the fuel for what is now our classic home community. The revival of a home from this era is beyond romantic, it cannot be explained until you occupy a period craftsman. They possess a patina so evocative, one truly cannot comprehend until you occupy and steward for several seasons.
Enter our Homewood example, originally constructed by WC Beardsley in 1916. A specimen of Stickney era marvel- the kind of craftsman era home everyone dreams of landing, however examples this well documented rarely arrive.
Julie and Ben embarked on their stoic chapter in 2016. We would describe them as textbook rare formers, only departing to seek their next challenge, as they have championed their present space from entry to exit.
Southern light streams through his main chambers, office/media porch, main living and dining are all light filled to the south. White Oak hardwoods throughout the sprawling 1000' footprint are paired nicely with the golden well-dressed millwork on the main.
The feel of this era must be experienced in the flesh, the present owners murdered the ball on this kitchen remodel, resulting in a playful space that encourages a gathering and flows to the Irish gardens out back.
The copy simply wont standup to WC’s interior, let his lines and staggering trimmings speak for themselves. The coffered cielings, plate rail, book cabinets and dining buffet don’t hurt either.
