19 Greenacres

Set on nearly an acre in LaPorte's coveted Greenacres neighborhood, 19 Greenacres is a rare architect-designed Midcentury Modern residence from 1949. Designed by architect Hylmar J. Keil, the home is distinguished by its low-slung limestone architecture, broad rooflines, clerestory windows, expansive glass, and a remarkable relationship to its wooded surroundings. Inside, the home's original architecture remains intact, with generous living and dining spaces, abundant natural light, and a striking limestone wall extending from the interior to the patio. The home offers two bedrooms plus a third bedroom converted to an office, offering flexibility as a bedroom, guest room, or workspace. A well-designed kitchen and open living area complete the interior. Nearly an acre of mature landscaping surrounds the home, with a poured patio, private outdoor spaces, and a spacious backyard that lends itself beautifully to a pool. Additional features include a heated two-car garage, distinctive stone-columned carport, generator hookup, municipal water and sewer, and a commercial washer and dryer. A rare combination of architecture and setting, 19 Greenacres is equally well suited to life as an in-town family residence or an idyllic Mid Mod country house. For the design enthusiast, its Midcentury architecture and relaxed glamour evoke the sort of setting Slim Aarons made iconic.
