Charles Granger, Architect | The Perch, 1941. City, State, and National historic landmark. On a quiet tree-lined street less than a mile from the UT campus in gorgeous Judges Hill, this Mid-Century Modern masterpiece is wrapped with windows on all sides, giving it tree house vibes. Hardwood floors, renovated bathroom, vintage fixtures, original built-ins, and authentic details throughout. The architect designed and built this stand-alone garage apartment for himself while working on the main house, shortly after working in the office of influential modernist Richard Neutra, whose influence is clearly visible. Separate from the main house, with separate entry, off-street parking, laundry, and the comfort of a single family home, plus the aesthetic pleasure of living in an architectural work of art.
