Perched among the trees, a midcentury stunner of a house recently hit the market in Danville, VA<\/a>, for $369,000.<\/p>\n

The minor architectural masterpiece caught a buyer\u2019s eye right away, and the wood-construction home is pending sale.<\/p>\n

Built in 1959 and designed by legendary Greensboro, NC<\/a>, architect Edward Loewenstein<\/strong>, the property last changed hands in 2021 for $225,000.<\/p>\n

Loewenstein<\/a> enjoyed a successful career focused on modernist construction, including around 500 homes\u201450 of which are considered midcentury modern. While Loewenstein\u2019s impact on architecture is his most visible contribution to the contemporary landscape, he was uniquely significant for another more important reason.<\/p>\n

Loewenstein was one of the first white architects in North Carolina to hire Black architects in the early 1950s, according to the website NC Modernist<\/a>. He also served on Gov. Terry Sanford\u2019s North Carolina Commission on Civil Rights.<\/p>\n

This 1,519-square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bath home is set on .77 acres. Natural light and beautiful views of the surrounding woodland landscape define and warm the home\u2019s interior. The house is anchored by a spacious living room with a working fireplace and 180-degree, floor-to-ceiling windows. Cork flooring runs throughout, and a deck overlooks the picturesque property.<\/p>\n

While appliances and finishes have been modernized, the home\u2019s original details remain intact.<\/p>\n

This Danville dwelling has architectural significance and a rich local history. The place was originally built as the family home of Dan River Mills chemist Joanne Spangler<\/strong>, according to the listing, and is a quick drive from the Caesars Virginia casino.<\/p>\n

The home serves up a rare combination of fine design and getaway appeal, all within minutes of abundant entertainment and dining options. This\u00a0house \u201cpresents a rare opportunity to own one of the region\u2019s last remaining midcentury modern homes,\u201d the listing notes.<\/p>\n
