Featuring an expansive open floor plan, the home's main living space is open and bright, with a fireplace and wall of windows showcasing the beautiful natural landscape. A garden courtyard is just one of many unique highlights of this home. There is an expanded outdoor living space which includes a shaded patio and fire pit.
Designed in the shape of the letter 'Z,' the floor plan separates the bedrooms from the living areas. There are three bedrooms, with a spacious main suite. A walk-out basement features another level of living space, potentially used as an office or studio.

About the Architect:
Paulsen attended the University of Illinois and then earned his architecture degree in 1947 from the University of Pennsylvania. He received a diploma in architecture + city planning from the Royal Academy of Arts.
Initially employed at Eero Saarinen & Associates during the early 1950s, he later moved on to work at Knoll Associates in NYC. In 1958, he started his own practice, while also becoming a member of the faculty at the University of Michigan. In 1965 he accepted the position of president and head of the graduate program in architecture at Cranbrook Academy of Art.
It is interesting to note that while Paulsen was trained in the classical Beaux-Arts manner, his work was distinctively Modern.
In addition to his residential designs, Paulsen also designed structures such as Shapero Hall of Pharmacy on Wayne State University campus, the Roeper School Domes in Bloomington Hills and the General Motors Tech Center in Warren, Michigan.
