Property Description
*visit themarshhouse.info for more details* Set in a peaceful Midland, Michigan neighborhood, the Marsh House is a beautiful example of mid-century architecture, thoughtfully designed by local architect Robert E. Schwartz. A Midland native, Schwartz initially pursued aeronautical engineering before discovering his passion for architecture at the University of Michigan, embracing the Bauhaus principles of functionality, simplicity, and harmony with nature. After graduating, Schwartz returned home to Midland, honing his skills by apprenticing with prominent local architects Bob Goodall and Glenn “Red” Beach- both alumni of the celebrated Alden B. Dow studio. One of Schwartz's earliest commissions, however, would come from family: his cousin, Patricia (Olds) Marsh, and her husband James ("Pete") Marsh. Remarkably, Schwartz was tasked with designing the home before officially forming his own firm, but his innate talent was already clear. Together with the Marsh family, Schwartz created a modest ranch home featuring Chicago common brick, redwood accents, and horizontal lines blending naturally into the landscape. Inside, the home's thoughtful design begins with a bright, inviting entryway accented by a built-in planter and mahogany cabinetry, creating a seamless transition between spaces. The Marsh family contributed personally to the home's construction, recalling fond memories of Patt, pregnant and determined, helping lay bricks and moving supplies. The finished house became a warm backdrop for family milestones, holiday celebrations, and quiet moments watching snow fall through large picture windows. Carefully maintained through the years, many of the home's key features have been consistently updated. The property also includes a Generac system for added comfort and peace of mind. Now available for the first time, the Marsh House offers a unique chance to continue its legacy of thoughtful design, modern comfort, and treasured family memories.
