To this day, homes built by Marlin Umberger in the area are considered to be homes of exceptional quality.

He was trained in carpentry, woodworking, and home construction.

Umberger was not only skilled at home building and remodeling, he also built furniture and made home décor items to adorn his homes.

His style incorporated architectural elements of Frank Lloyd Wright, whom he is said to have greatly admired.

Apart from the FLW references, there is a whole lot of fabulous mid-century fun infused in this home.

Look at the plush sea-foam green carpet – perhaps original to the house?

The listing doesn’t specify if the furnishings are retro-inspired, vintage, or original designs of Umberger. But aren’t these pieces fantastic?

Of course, you have a massive rock wall fireplace as the centerpiece of the sunken living room.

There is a den with a vaulted ceiling opposite to the living room.

Nearby is a cozy dining area just off the kitchen.

The kitchen cabinets do not look original – the styling is definitely not 1959 or atomic age in any way.

However, the green patterned carpet in the kitchen is positively groovy!
