About This Home
As of June 2024Discover this stunning mid-century modern home uniquely situated on an expansive 13,000+ square foot lot nestled within the tranquil Tilden parklands.

Soaring ceilings and walls of glass maximize the expansive vistas, while gumwood paneling, built-in seating, and a double-sided fireplace create a sense of warmth and intimacy. The house has a spacious layout with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large library/office, easily convertible into a third bedroom. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is perfectly designed for entertaining. The property is surrounded by multiple courtyards and patios that offer varying sunlight and shade throughout the day alongside a lush garden with mature Japanese maples, dogwoods, hydrangeas, rhododendrons and many other flowering plants that bloom almost year-round. Nature trails are less than a block away while Cheese Board is only an 8-minute drive. This home is a dream-come-true for those who cherish both nature and the amenities of city living.
