Homewalk

Since 1981 the annual Homewalk has been a holiday event and premier fundraiser for the Zonta Club of Midland. Each year a selection of area homes are superbly decorated for the holidays and opened up for public viewing. The club has collaborated with the Alden B. Dow Home and Studio to feature area architects and many of the mid-century modern homes in Midland. Over $521,000 has been raised by Homewalk to fund scholarships for women and grants for area non-profits. 

2018 Homewalk December 1st and 2nd!

 Tickets are available from any Zonta Club of Midland member, area retail outlets and online through the A. B. Dow Home and Studio. Contact Esther at midlandrecyclers@yahoo.com for ticket information. Tickets purchased online may be picked up the day at the rest stop - Independence Village, 2325 Rockwell Drive, Midland  between 1 and 5 pm the day of the event. 
2395 E Little Turtle Way • Builder - Greystone Homes
Large and light-filled, this contemporary 2016 home is a study in using unique, modern finishes to pull the outdoors in. Warm Brazilian cherry floors anchor the dramatic mix of metal and stone throughout the home. The family room’s dramatic 15-foot, floor-to-ceiling stone and metal fireplace surround with floating shelves brightens the adjacent maple and granite chef’s kitchen with hammered metal backsplash and dramatic lighting. Back in the cozy master suite, tranquil colors combine with natural river rock, stone and tile finishes to create a relaxing getaway in view of the beautiful backyard entertainment area. Be sure to follow the open cable stair rail to the large finished basement where modern finishes accent a second fire and ice fireplace and kitchenette serving two seating areas.​

2330 Deer Valley Drive • Builder - Phillips Builders
This 4,000 sq. ft. Georgian Colonial’s dramatic columned entrance with overhead balcony looms large, but inside spaces are warm and cozy with collected furnishings that reflect the owners’ unique personalities. Notice the eclectic mix of family antiques and more contemporary pieces drawn together with plush area rugs and custom art. The owners’ love of horses is apparent as the singular artistic focus in the family room. The house is made for entertaining with two first-floor wet bars, a large cook’s kitchen with fireplace, dining room and adjacent screened porch opening onto a deck which leads to a beautifully landscaped backyard. In the lower level is the library, filled with books and collected art which includes a scale model of a Great Lakes freighter on which the family once traveled and a sleek home theater/exercise room displaying family memorabilia. The homeowners’ vast collection of well loved holiday ornaments and décor make this home a memorable destination!

310 Graham • Builder - Haddix Lumber
​Step through the front door of this 1964 ranch-style home into an indoor garden atrium and experience nature head-on. Designed and built by the Haddix family (Haddix Lumber) as their family home, this fun ranch is now owned by an international big game hunter and his wife. The home’s original finishes, including exposed beams, wood paneling, slate and wood floors, rock planters and a natural stone fireplace provide a beautiful, natural backdrop to an extensive collection of taxidermy and wildlife art. The furnishings and art complement the home’s original fixtures to create a sophisticated, eclectic feel. Check out the master en suite and second bathroom with matching original tilework in different colors. The bright kitchen, remodeled in 1984 with European-style laminate cabinets and Corian countertops, offers a spare, modern backdrop for the fun, international décor.

​1805 W. Sugnet • Architect - Alden B. Dow
This mid-century modern home, originally designed in 1942 by Alden B. Dow, has been remodeled over the years to add two upstairs bedrooms, an atrium with loft overlooking the family room, a first floor sunroom, a master suite, and woodworking shop. The charming kitchen mixes old and new with edgegrained fir accentuating copper accents. The home’s unique floors are a mix of tile and wood milled from ash trees on the owners’ beloved vacation property. Lighting fixtures, all copper or copper-finished, enhance the beautiful wood finishes. As you tour, note that many of the pieces of furniture are handcrafted by the homeowner, blending mid-century modern design with pieces collected from Japan.

3812 Applewood • Architect - Francis Warner
This beautiful mid-century modern home designed in 1959 by Francis E. “Red” Warner is set in the former apple orchard of H. H. Dow. Expansive windows in the living and family rooms seamlessly meld the home’s interior with its beautiful natural surroundings. The mid-century aesthetic of this single-story home includes colorful original bathroom tile, and Chicago Brick flooring and fireplace surround stamped with the brickmakers’ fingerprints. The galley kitchen, with original edge-grained fir cabinetry, opens up to a family room and a screened-in porch. Be sure to check out the owners’ collection of contemporary art throughout the home, including the dining room’s original mid-century acrylic painting, and to take a look at the spectacular and rare 150 year-old American Elm tree visible from the living and family rooms.
