Step into a living postcard from mid century—and hear it, too. The moment you cross the threshold, the iconic Long Bell ribbon metro door chime rings out its melodic, mid-century greeting, a rare surviving detail that sets the tone for this untouched custom ranch home built with skilled craftmanship. One story with a partially finished basement, it spans 2,990 square feet on a private 1.06-acre lot . From the street, the home announces itself with a graceful curved roofline and a half-moon driveway that sweeps around a full brick planter box bursting with old-growth charm.
Inside, every detail is original and preserved:
Light peach and teal retro bathroom with pristine tile, built-in niches, and gleaming chrome fixtures
Bedrooms wrapped in aromatic cedar closets featuring hand-crafted built-in drawers
Massive picture windows that flood the home with natural light and frame the lush, tree-filled yard
Custom cabinetry and partial wood floors that whisper quality craftsmanship.
One-of-a-kind kitchen with pass-through windows that push open to the outdoors, perfect for morning coffee amid birdsong.
The 1.06-acre parcel is a private arboretum of mature trees and flowering shrubs, offering room to roam, garden, or simply breathe. Outbuildings include a 2-car attached garage, a detached 1-car garage, and a separate shop/storage building ideal for hobbies, toys, or future ADU potential (buyer to verify). This is more than a house; it's a solid, character-rich foundation complete with a working piece of audible history. Restore the retro soul think mid-century palettes, vintage lighting, and that signature chime or use the bulletproof bones for a modern transformation. Either way, you're starting with a rare, unspoiled canvas.
