10 W Garfield St

This phenomenal house is a classic mid-century modern design and was designed and built by the late Hugo and Dorothy Eck in the early 1950s. Hugo was the current owner's uncle and was an architecture professor at MSU in the 50s to 70s.The house was recently restored with a major rebuild of the electrical and heating systems (high efficiency gas forced air), kitchen and laundry room and new kitchen and dining room flooring. The restoration was done with an eye towards retaining as much of the original design while providing some modern additions (stainless vent hood and oven). The original hand-crafted cabinets have been retained in the kitchen, living room, 4 bedrooms and lower-level family room also two full baths, 2 car garage, working sauna and a shop/ wood working room. There is a 2 KW solar array on the roof to minimize electrical costs. The property is 6 blocks from campus and a block from the Gallagator Linear Trail, 3 Blocks from Longfellow Elementary School as well as being within easy walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants and Pete's Hill trails. The 0.6 acre property contains many mature trees, shrubs, raspberry plants and garden beds and is frequented by deer, foxes and other wildlife.
