Description

Some homes reference the mid-century era, and others have simply never left it. Designed and built by Weinberger in 1962, the D'Agostini House is an exceptional example of Detroit-area mid-century design, set along the quiet waters of a private, non-motorized lake in Shelby Township. Commissioned by Olimpio and Silvia D'Agostini in 1962, the home remained with its original family for more than six decades. The original building contract called for construction to begin approximately May 1, 1962, and to be completed on or before September 1, 1962, at a cost of $29,400. Located in Starlite Meadows, developed by Morstan Development Co., the home reflects the optimism and architectural experimentation that defined suburban Detroit in the postwar era. Its low horizontal profile, broad sheltering overhangs, strong connection between indoors and out, and emphasis on comfortable, informal living echo the ideas that shaped American residential architecture in the years following Frank Lloyd Wright. More than six decades later, the original vision remains remarkably intact. A step-down living room, anchored by a fireplace and featuring original velvet wallpaper, creates a space that feels wonderfully removed from anything being built today. Original cabinetry, built-ins, lighting, hardware and fireplaces remain throughout, joined by beautifully preserved tile bathrooms and playful starburst motifs appearing in unexpected places- from closet hardware to details incorporated into the garage. Original blueprints further document the home and its design. Rather than functioning as a museum piece, however, the house is remarkably comfortable. Generously proportioned rooms flow easily from one to the next, with multiple living spaces designed for gathering and everyday life. The family room turns toward the lake, while the finished walkout lower level extends the home with additional space and a direct connection outdoors. Multiple patios create different places to entertain, dine or simply settle in beside the water. Outside,
