Although the home is in need of some fresh decor and exterior painting, it has been recently painted on the interior, has a newer high efficiency furnace (2017) as well as newer glass panels (2017) in the lovely back family room that has a wonderful view of the spacious back yard. The four bedrooms were functionally designed, and the master bedroom suite has its own window panel and slider to the private side yard. 2 full baths, 1 half bath, and first floor laundry make convenient living, andthe lower level has a large rec. room with fireplace, and a designed bomb shelter for ample available storage. The living room has a large open feeling expanded by the window wall facing south for warmth of the sun and adding natural light. The limestone fireplace is centrally located, and an ample sized kitchen with informal eating area is also surrounded by glass to the outside, another architectural purposeful design.

The Rall family worked cooperatively with the famous architect, Hugh Stubbins, Jr. to design and build this unique ranch style large home situated on a high large private lot over .6 acres in size. Stubbins pragmatic approach emphasized "function, logic and relationship to the surroundings". He was later quoted as saying that "architecture is not just individual buildings, but the whole fabric of our physical environment, and is an approach towards life... a social art", and 829 Lantern Hill is an embodiment of that statement. The architect worked closely with many local Lantern Hill families to personalize their homes close to the MSU campus and growing East Lansing community. Stubbins went on to design such well known structures as the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, Berlin Congress Hall in West Germany and many others worldwide. The Rall family incorporated many of their own personal ideas into the home, including Italian marble entrance way, cork floor under the kitchen existing carpet, solid redwood interior paneling, and the exterior is also mostly solid redwood. Throughout the exterior landscaping, you will notice limestone planters, curved stone art features, and a storage building constructed with limestone blocks rescued from the State Capital in Lansing after a fire caused it to be rebuilt in approximately 1962. These stones were hauled here after the fire and incorporated into the home design wherever possible.

This home is ready for a new owner to add some creativity and updates of their own, but this unique opportunity doesn't come around very often. Come tour this example of 1950's "modern" living
