The Grandfather of Prefab, Carl Koch, made his mark on this mid-century Farmington Hills pre-fabulous home — and now it’s for sale.

Spanning 2,132 sq.-ft. with four bedrooms and 2.5 baths, this home is one of Koch’s Techbuilt-style designs that is both sophisticated and unpretentious, fit for Ikea or Eames. Though the home was built in 1955, it has endured some updates like heated gutters and a generator that services the entire home. However, it maintains signature Techbuilt features like ample windows that allow for sweeping views of the wooded lot as well as a chimney that extends from the first floor through the loft, complete with a wood storage area and brick hearth.
