About This Home

As of April 2025

Nestled in the coveted area of Kester Ridge, this stunning 1955 Mid-Century Modern has been lovingly restored and updated to maintain the integrity of the era. Walk up and observe the iconic roof lines and impeccable colorful palette. Hear the sound of a rare front courtyard waterfall/pond, surrounded by lush fruit trees and foliage, creating a private garden oasis. The beautiful light filled kitchen features maple cabinets, flamed granite counters, large island with extra storage, custom tile, a gas fireplace, breakfast area, wine fridge, washer/dryer and farm sink looking out to a bonus side garden. The open living/dining area features a high vaulted, wood beamed ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace. Floor to ceiling windows flood the living space with light and lead you to your expansive entertainer's backyard sanctuary featuring a large patio with built-in BBQ/bar, gas fire pit and fountain, and lush garden yard. All bedrooms are tucked away down the main hall & include a full bath and in suite master bath. This exceptional piece of preserved history is a one-of-a-kind wonder that won't last.
