New ListingPerfectly refined, this 1956 Mid-Century home pairs thoughtful updates and improvements with the timeless MCM charm we love. The setting makes it especially appealing. The large, fenced yard feels like a private park with mature trees and established plantings, garden beds, a generous patio, and an Ipe deck just off the kitchen creates an exceptional indoor-outdoor living experience. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, the home enjoys the added appeal of a close-knit community of longtime neighbors who look out for one another, contributing to the welcoming neighborhood vibe. The architecture shines through with a generous open floor plan, natural light and an easy circular flow. A sandstone fireplace anchors the great room, connecting the living and dining areas with the fully modernized kitchen. The main level also features a large primary bedroom with French doors opening to a private deck, built-in closets, and a beautifully renovated full bathroom. A second bedroom and storage round out the main level amenities. The lower level offers a generous den with a second wood-burning fireplace, a walk-in storage closet, and access to the attached garage. A large utility area provides additional storage space plus a laundry, mechanical systems, and a convenient updated three quarter bathroom. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved, this home brings together enduring Mid-Century style, quality, comfortable indoor-outdoor living, and a truly special neighborhood setting.
