Description

Re-Imagined...This iconic home is now lovingly known as the "Lava House" because of it's lave rock clad exterior and interior brought in by the truckload almost 6 decades ago by the trailblazer Carol Mcwilliams. Since, then it was loved and cherished by one owner, a physician. It has now again traded hands and lucky hands they are. The designer has humbly taken on the daunting task or renovating the most unique home in the county and very possibly the state. She has studied the details of the home and spoken with Carol on various occasions to pick her brain and run ideas past her. The end result is literally breathtaking and a true feat of imagination and true love for architecture and design. Notes of Frank Lloyd Wright, modernism, and Japanese culture are present and live harmoniously together. This one is must be appreciated in person. Grateful for the opportunity, Wise welcomes all to come experience the Lava House!

    "Little traffic. Sketchy foot-traffic. Certain areas have open-air drug sales. However, overall, I have lived in Fairmont, cumulatively for 16 years and where most visitors may be afraid to walk down the street, I feel perfectly comfortable. Most citizens mind their own business and don’t bother each other. Every city has their own set of problems and Fairmont is no different. If you want trouble, you’ll find it. If you want peace, you’ll find it. "

    "The private, yet neighborly feel. The dynamic of the neighborhood is constantly changing. I grew up here in the 80s and 90s. The neighborhood was filled with drug dealers and users. You rarely see that aspect of the community out in the open anymore. Although, certain areas are still infested with drugs, there is a peacefulness about it now. There are no more gunshots throughout the night. Most people respect one another. Problems with others in the community are rare. "
