Property Description
Architectural Treasure by Harper Fowley located in the Heart of Anchorage and in the Anchorage School District. One of only sixteen homes in Anchorage designed by renowned architect Harper Pruitt Fowley, this residence is both a piece of Anchorage history and a timeless work of art. Featured in the Anchorage Historic Preservation District booklet and highlighted in Anchorage Revisited as the sole example of contemporary architecture, this 1968 masterpiece at 12108 Locust Lane captures the essence of mid-century modern design—blending form, function, and nature in perfect harmony. The two-story, vertical wood-clad structure is defined by expansive walls of glass that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. From nearly every room, you're surrounded by lush, mature gardens and tranquil outdoor spaces, including a stone courtyard with a koi-pond-inspired water feature and a fountain that greets you at the front of the home. Inside, the craftsmanship and originality of Fowley's vision are on full display: Kentucky creek stone flooring flows through the foyer and kitchen, pegged hardwood floors grace the living and dining rooms, separated by a striking brick pillar fireplaceone of three throughout the home, an artist's studio overlooks a private rooftop terrace and connects seamlessly to the primary suite, a large veranda, potting shed/greenhouse, and multiple entry points enhance both beauty and function, floor-to-ceiling windows flood every space with natural light, creating a serene connection to the outdoors, as former Courier-Journal editor David Hawpe wrote after purchasing the home: "Apparently it caused something of a sensation when Harper built it. Not your typical center hall colonial. Awfully boxy. So much glass. A bit 'out of character' for Anchorage. And it had a flat roof... The wonderful thing is, a flat roof makes the house look smaller." David Hawpe, "The Pieces Left Behind," The Courier-Journal, January 14, 1996. This is more than a homeit's a living piece of architectural history, artfully designed for those who appreciate modern form, natural beauty, and enduring craftsmanship.
