Four modular units, each 15 feet wide, rest on two separate exposed steel platforms that step down the sloped wooded site, minimizing the amount of clearing and grading required. A stacked walk-in closet and family room addition were constructed using existing cantilevered steel beams originally provided for future expansion from the lower platform. Features a conversation pit living room, suspended from the floor framing, making the fireplace easily accessible. Sold to Elizabeth B. Luck. Sold in 2018 to the Brubaker 2010 Trust.
