About This Home

Discover the timeless appeal of true Mid-Century Modern design on one of Central Modesto's beautiful tree-lined streets. This thoughtfully preserved 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence showcases the clean lines, warm character, and indoor/outdoor lifestyle that define the era. Inside, you'll find stunning exposed beamed wood ceilings throughout the home creating a sense of warmth and architectural interest rarely found today. The original pink-and-white tiled primary bathroom is a true vintage treasure, celebrating the home's authentic mid-century roots while adding undeniable charm. Step outside to a spacious backyard designed for California living. A sparkling pool invites summer gatherings, while the expansive yard offers plenty of room to relax, entertain, or garden beneath mature trees. Also located in the backyard is an approximately 300SF pool house. While it is not reflected in the asking price due to plumbing repairs needed, it offers a wonderful opportunity for the next owner to restore and reimagine the space. If you've been searching for authentic Mid-Century Modern architecture, generous outdoor living, and a convenient Central Modesto location, this is a home that deserves a place at the top of your list.
