Home of the Week: Mt. Washington restoration stays true to original design
Set up from the street in Mount Washington, this Usonian-style residence was extensively restored and renovated over the last decade to its original 1950s condition.
Concrete blocks and rich wood details take center stage in the modernist design, which retains its geometric fireplaces, built-ins and cork floors. Glass-paneled doors open to a cantilevered deck space that extends from the front of the home.
