Rare find mid-century modernist home in historic Whitehead Circle neighborhood. Jim Webb designed this modern home for UNC dean of the School of Journalism, Walter Spearman. Utilizing a giant granite rock as a pivot point for house placement, the adjoining fountain and Zen garden in the back of the house creates a continuous flow that slopes away from the street throughout the wooded property. Tree filtered sunlight through the floor to ceiling windows illuminate the rooms. Peaceful yet energizing.
