About This Home
As of June 2025Tucked away in Brentwood's coveted lower Kenter Canyon, this architecturally distinct midcentury modern home sits elevated above the street, offering exceptional privacy and picturesque views. Designed around a central patio, the Fleetwood doors and windows flood the interiors with natural light, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living for an effortless California lifestyle. While preserving its midcentury character, the home has been extensively updated with raised ceilings, a newer roof and doors, and beautifully remodeled kitchen and baths. A striking wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, complemented by natural maple floors. The sleek, well-appointed kitchen features quartz countertops, a Bertazzoni cooktop, double convection ovens, a microwave, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator, along with versatile storage options. There are three bedrooms, including a private wing for the spacious ensuite primary bedroom. A separate lower-level space, with its own entrance, offers versatility as a gym, studio, or private office. Additional highlights include outdoor fire pit, laundry room, and ample storage. A rare midcentury gem not to be missed.
