This mid-century modern looks like something straight out of “Mad Men.” Or maybe “The Brady Bunch.” Built in 1962 by noted North Carolina architect William Sloan, original featured and fixtures make this house as much of a collector’s item as a home. A classy two-car carport leads to a brick-
walled courtyard that runs along the side of the house, with gravel bedding and a slate pathway to the half-acre yard. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow generous daylight to the interior, where original fixtures like terrazzo flooring and period lighting add to the kitsch value. Brick walls, a vaulted ceiling and recessed
bookshelves mark the upstairs den off an open staircase. An open, second-floor deck creates a covered patio underneath. The kitchen featured the original wooden cabinetry with new appliances that blend in with the look. In the master bath, original small tiles line the
runs every month inside Triad City Beat.

Point
shower and twin sinks remind us of Don and Betty in better days. Architectural flourishes, unique features — two fireplaces! — and clever use of space mark the rest of the home, which would look as fitting in southern California as it does in the Furniture City, though in High Point the price
tag is much more reasonable. Not far from the High Point Country Club, in proximity to walking trails, dining and shopping, this one is a showpiece that shouldn’t last long on the market. Realtor Frank Slate Brooks says that 27 people showed for the first open house over the
weekend, and he expects it will be sold before the leaves turn.
