About This Home
As of July 2018Drawn with the clean lines and easy livability that mid-century modern design is known for, this expansive Western Section home is wonderfully close to everything, courtesy of its sidewalks-to-downtown, corner lot. Richly-stained hardwoods are an elegant counterpoint to sunlit spaces, beginning in the kitchen, where lacquer-style cabinetry and pull-up seating add a sleek modernity; a breakfast room has a pair of glass-fronted cabinets and closets to store linens and china. Backyard views from wide windows will draw you into the lofty dining room; a wall of glass and another of brick add atmosphere to the vaulted Great Room and its wood-burning fireplace. Host a crowd with ease via drinks on the skylit screened porch, a splash in the pool, or a chat on the patio, alongside a built-in grill. Rain won't wash out the party - just head down to the lower level, finished with a kitchenette and a 2-room suite for lucky guests. The 4-bedroom/2.5 bath wing on the main floor includes a tucked-away master suite. A bonus 3rd garage bay offers flexible space.
