Bolewood MCM needs rescuing

5 Nov

This great mid-century modern home is currently for sale. I would love to see this home go to a caring owner for restoration rather than be destroyed. It is currently active on the MLS for $500k based on lot value according to the listing. This is not my listing.

Situated in the prestigious Bolewood Estates near 41st and Lewis, this home is located on a very nice street with luxurious homes surrounding. It is unique to the neighborhood as one of the few modern homes on the block and looks quite impressive from the street. The interior appears original, still sporting the vintage carpets and finishings. It features wonderfully crafted custom built-ins throughout the home. It has a center atrium, which is currently overgrown with shrubbery, but could be an unbelievably cool feature with some work.

Does anyone know anything about this house? Who designed this home? I have spoken with the listing agent who did not provide much information regarding the structure. Please share. Address is 1836 43rd st.

There have been some wonderful comments added to this post with more information. See below.

    I have been told this was designed by Murray Jones Murray. Can anyone verify this?

    call Susie Woody, she has apparently talked to Robert Jones about the house.

    Most likely the architect is Joe Wilkenson, AIA who did the designs for Jim Nuckols. The name of the firm was Wilkenson and Walker. Phone and ask him. Stacey Bayles has his phone number. I would be surprised if MJM or Bob Jones had anything to do with this residence. Blane Imel,AIA worked in this vernacular as did Tom Kelleher, AIA.

    rather “Wilkerson”? I seem to recall that Walker is also still around, but haven’t visited with him.

    Susy Woody told me that Bob Jones informed her in Fall ‘07 that this home IS an MJM product
