1120 South Delaware Avenue, Springfield, MO 65804 (MLS# 60170020)

Private and gated home in Prestigious area of Rountree neighborhood! VERY architecturally significant home, designed and built by Fred Shellabarger. Mr. Shellabarger was one of only 4 architect apprentices to Frank Lloyd Wright, and he built this as his personal home in 1950-1951, moving from San Francisco to Springfield to be near his wife's family. This home has had great stewards and has been maintained in the original designs and bonus room. One addition is the heated 3 car garage, which has a finished workshop/office in the rear. The grounds have been landscape designed as well, with the home tucked in so it is barely visible from the street. This mid- century embraces the tenants of this movement of architecture by bringing the ''outside in'' with high windows framing the trees and banks of glass, innovative materials in polished concrete floors, clean, geometric lines in bold rectangles and squares. Some of the more modern conveniences are: Stainless appliances, granite counter tops, TPO roofing, plantation shutters, gas fireplace, ''summer'' screened house with a retro wood burner, in ground sprinklers, and a remote entry gate.
