The childhood home of artist Dale Chihuly, the glassblower who’s traveled the world with his colorful twists and orbs, has been listed in Tacoma, WA, for $389,000.
The 1943 Craftsman comes with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and a basement where, as a college student, Chihuly remodeled a rec room using 1950s motifs and drapes inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, one of his heroes.
The drapes are gone, but the basement still carries hints of Chihuly, listing agent Juli Anne Gibson of Keller Williams Puget Sound was excited to find.
“The floor is painted a green color he’s known for with those abstract circles and dots he does,” said Gibson, who matched the design to a Chihuly painting online. “The color is pretty distinct, and he even did it on the stairs.”
The corner-lot home in Tacoma’s Proctor District, known for nice homes and its own little urban village, features the original mahogany trim, doors and moldings; newly restored hardwood floors; and a remodeled kitchen and main bathroom.
There’s an open house this Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. Pacific Time.
