Say hello to Frank Lloyd Wright! Or at least be reminded…

Currently on the market is a one-of-a-kind home located at 4398 Dublin Rd. in Columbus.

 The residence is being sold by only the second owners who are relocating to New York. They think of this as their “dream home”, are sad to leave, but life has a way of shifting the future so we must shift too right? I think this home was built from a dream and will find it next caretaker who feels the same.

In 1985 Gary Rausch, an architect and VP of Lupton Rausch Architecture and Interior Design, built a house for his family. I can only guess, however, how long the design process was. What is clear is that he built what he wanted to live in. A home of quality and custom details (the dental molding he made himself) and convenient built-ins-staying true to the character of the architecture style.

 Rausch designed and had constructed a 2,276 sq. ft mid-century modern stone and stucco ranch that rests on a serene acre plus on a private lane leading to the Scioto River. The location is perfect really. Close to 270, Riverside Dr, shopping in the Mill Run area, minutes to Tuttle Mall. The perfection lies too in the “take a breath” quality of pulling into the crushed stone drive and seeing some open space, possibly some curious deer, and even occasionally some wild turkeys!  Unbelievable–right off of Dublin Rd. just north of Cemetery and south of Davidson–the possibiltiy of owning a 365 day vacation home close everything needed for daily convenience. Cool.
