Mid-Century Modern

Sited on a most desirable beautiful cul-de-sac close to everything, this 1963 mid-century modern 1.5 story house is set back from the street providing a sense of privacy and retreat. Inside the light and bright house there are 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, an attic bonus room/studio, and a fantastic family room addition with direct access to a full bath. The overall appeal of the house is architecturally understated with a clean lined interior and a great flexible floor plan for changing needs. Inside you'll find a great backdrop for art and there is a decidedly gallery feel throughout. Front double doors to an entry hall with floor to ceiling window wall. Six steps down to the lower level: A hall with built-in bookcase connects living room and kitchen and has a full bath with stall shower (also with access from family room), laundry closet with front coat hanging area, storage closet. Living room with fireplace flanked by glass doors to patio, beamed ceiling. Glass doors from living room to big, bright family room addition with 2 closets and many windows (could be great main bedroom/guest suite with a direct entrance to hall bath with some ADA access modifications and a stall shower). Warm, inviting kitchen with wood cabinets, great looking marble and quartz counters with tile backsplash, newer appliances including 2 convection wall ovens and induction cooktop with retractable exhaust venting to outside, open dining area big enough for a sizable table and chairs, beamed ceiling, wall cabinet, mechanical closet, glass sliding doors and another glass door to patio with steps up to the driveway for convenient access. A stair from the entry hall leads to the upper level: Main bedroom with large windows and smaller window niche; big main bath with beautiful tile/counters, extra wide vanity with 2 sinks, bidet, shower over tub with glass doors, storage cabinets. 2nd bedroom with large window and closet. 3rd bedroom used as an office with built-in desk/cabinetry, large window, closet.
