About This Home

As of May 2020

This sunlit, expansive ranch sits on a quarter-acre lot on beautiful Highview Avenue. Built in 1955, this home has classic Mid-Century Modern details including large glass windows, gently pitched ceilings and open floor plan. The kitchen has newer stainless appliances and sits in the center of the main floor to offer an ideal layout for entertaining. A stone fireplace anchors the living room, and wood beams run across the angled ceilings of the foyer and dining room. The 2011 porch addition echoes the home's original design with extensive use of windows and great views onto the yard. The private rooms include a master suite with a large dressing closet and three additional main floor bedrooms. The full-footprint lower level offers unlimited functionality and includes the fifth bedroom, updated full bath, large rec room and abundant storage areas. Generous yard space, brick patio, picturesque landscaping, and a walk-to-town and train lifestyle!
