I went looking for the Lustron Home in Greensboro, there are two, one on Lawndale as I mentioned. Two in Raleigh that are for sale, one endangered. That led me to a site listing all modernist architecture homes for sale in NC and I found this:

You spent some time up Cashiers way too, as I recall? Love those grand contemporaries lining the cliffs of Whiteside Cove heading up to Highlands. My favorite was once called Sunledge, may still be, been in it several times, stunning two story wall of glass atop a cliff. A little disorienting, actually, but beautiful. If I ever have a major windfall again, I’d dearly love to have one of those places. There’s one architect in particular that seems to have been responsible for most of them, Jim Fox.

Here’s another, but it’s more of a valley view up Whiteside rather than top down:

There’s another Lustron on Dellwood behind the two on Lawndale.

Oops, Fairfield, not Dellwood.

There is some crazy money along that road. Back in the old days (30+ years ago) I worked for an engineering co. and we did a job about 1/4 way up the road from Cashiers to Highlands. A private residence was built along a steep creek and there was an old 20’ tall concrete dam we were rebuilding about 200’ behind the house. It was a $70,000 job. The owners were fixing it so they could have a water fall and hear the water splashing while they sipped Chardonnay on their back deck.
