About this home
“Think Mad Men vibes—pour a glass of champagne, light the fireplace and step into timeless mid-century modern style.” Mid-Century Modern Living, Reimagined ~~~
This home is a classic—anchored in mid-century modern design yet refreshed for today. Quietly nestled on a large, cul-de-sac lot, it embodies the hallmarks of the era: clean lines, open spaces and an organic connection to the outdoors. Expansive windows invite in natural light and frame serene views of the landscaped grounds, blurring the boundary between inside and out.
At the center of it all is the spacious, light-filled living room with its *floating fireplace*, opening seamlessly to a delightful screened-in porch that overlooks the lush, fenced-in backyard—a perfect extension of your living space.
Inside, timeless architecture meets thoughtful updates. The renovated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, geometric backsplash and minimalist cabinetry with modern hardware. Bathrooms have been reimagined with crisp finishes, while refinished hardwood floors and custom retro-inspired lighting celebrate the home’s authentic character.
The terrace level, with its own entrance, offers flexible living—perfect for a guest suite, studio or income-producing rental. A cozy family room anchored by a second wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and function.
Outdoors, enjoy your private backyard oasis: lush landscaping, new hardscape and even blueberry bushes for a touch of organic living. A spacious two-car plus garage, flat newly paved driveway and updated systems—including HVAC (2019)—make everyday life effortless.
With its iconic architectural details, seamless indoor-outdoor flow and timeless mid-century modern spirit, this home is both a stylish retreat and a rare find.
