Description

Now available: a rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of Midland's architectural legacy. Designed in 1959 by Francis "Red" Warner, a prot©g© of Alden B. Dow and an admirer of Frank Lloyd Wright, The Giering House is a stunning example of mid-century design in dialogue with nature. Nestled on a serene, tree-filled lot that backs directly to Valley Park, this 3,298 square foot home was built to bring the outdoors in while honoring the beauty of simplicity. Warner's design ethos is felt throughout: warm Douglas fir beams, knotty pine ceilings, clerestory windows, and a central brick fireplace that serves as both visual anchor and gathering place. A compressed, intimate entryway opens to soaring volumes in the main living area, one of Warner's signature spatial moves. Custom built-ins provide both form and function, while walls of glass and strategic overhangs demonstrate his early commitment to passive solar design. The layout includes five bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a half bath, offering generous space for living and entertaining. A private patio off the primary suite opens directly to sweeping views of Valley Park, one of Midland's most beloved neighborhood greens. More than a home, the Giering House is a work of art, designed for those who believe that how we live is just as important as where we live. With its timeless design, rich architectural lineage, and park-like setting, it offers an opportunity to not just admire Mid-Century Modern architecture, but to live fully within it.
