About This Home

As of March 2020

All the best elements of the era are proudly on display in this authentic mid-century modern home that was once renovated by an up-and-coming Robert Hillier. Vaulted ceilings sheathed in wood above clerestory windows, hefty exposed beams, brick accent walls and even perfectly preserved hand-carved privacy screens will please architecture buffs and design-savvy buyers. The floorplan is fantastic for modern living with four bedrooms and 2 full baths confined to a private wing and a sizable eat-in kitchen with adjacent family room just off the oversized 2-car garage. Many rooms, including the dining room, have floor-to-ceiling windows, but none are as dramatic as the Great Room s peaked wall of glass framing majestic specimen trees. Clever built-in desks and a big fireplace will make this room the favorite place to gather. Sliders in the study open to a stone patio, where you can enjoy the sun-dappled property in peace. The freshly painted exterior blends with its surrounds and is in exemplary condition.
