Front facade in current paint color.
Lovingly maintained, this home offers an expanded footprint on the mid-century classic, yielding needed space and making this home a standout in its class. With 2023 roof, updated mechanicals, and big re-model projects, the home accommodates modern conveniences.[Virtually painted.]
Welcome. Be delighted! Be amazed!
Midcentury modern at its best. The HUB OF THE HOME, this gathering place embodies the home life of your dreams. It engages inside comfort with the outdoor connection just beyond the expansive doors and windows.
The ideal blend of ranch charm with modern trends! OPEN UP THAT SPACE! Remodel projects (2003 and 2008) opened the space, added a powder room and so much more. These expansive spaces allow the life you desire. (Notice the kitchen opens at the left-hand side.)
This handsome fireplace, flanked by shelves and storage, anchors this gracious & ample living space. Yes, this home boasts not 1, but 2 fireplaces to enjoy.
Wow! Those oversized windows showcase the openness, the gleaming hardwoods, and moreover the ambiance of a comfortable life. The 2003 updated windows throughout the home are insulated & double-paned (per seller). Note the foyer in the right-side foreground, which leads to hallway / bedrooms. 
This sizeable dining flows well from room to room with an opened floorplan. Note the study to the right, behind the chic French pocket doors, which facilitate privacy. Used currently as a dining room, would you choose formal living here instead?
Another angle.
Strategically placed, the home office is designed to maximize function and practicality. It features built-in shelves and cabinetry, a large storage closet, and clever pocket doors, which facilitate a peaceful and focused work vibe.
An expansion in 2008 included this handsome powder room, complete with wainscoting, top-mount sink and on-trend mirror. It’s a game-changer from the mid-century original, which was absent of this modern convenience.
Perfect for entertaining, this breakfast bar opens up the kitchen. Keeps the young ones connected while snacking and the adults serving it up! Note the door in the foreground to the powder room.
What a gathering space to behold. The rich and warm wooden cabinets, durable granite and stainless steel appliances complete the package. Not shown here, but the pantry with substantial storage overcomes midcentury objections.
This view shows the kitchen connectedness & the open flow to living spaces. Yet this space respects the need for separation.
What charm! With cushioned bench-seats subtly gracing the cornered windows, the space invites conversational harmony and a full tummy, all the while taking in the lush views outside! Note the convenience of the built-in “mud room” storage…close to the outside door (not pictured here).
Another angle, highlighting the expanse. NOTE: The plentiful pantry is positioned behind the photographer’s lens.
FOYER: Let the handsome craftsman style door anchor you (Look for the floorplan within MLS docs), showing the connection to the DINING ROOM. Let’s explore the bedrooms of the home.
Retreat to the spacious primary bedroom—not a bedroom of yester-year. Rather, this on-trend primary features gleaming original hardwoods, a 2nd fireplace, 2 closets, and a way to escape to the outdoors.
Who doesn’t love a place to snuggle? There is plenty of space for a comfy couch in front of the fire. And like the rest of the house, the room offers convenient storage: window bench seat on one side and shelves/cabinets on the other.
A rare find indeed! This expansive bath was a 2003 addition (per seller(, transforming this home from a compromised mid-century to a modern-day delight! The frameless shower is complemented by the relaxing tub as well as light, neutral tones.
The double vanity showcases the size while the plentiful windows bring in natural light. The bath was designed with storage in mind. In fact the whole house is chock full of built-ins and storage.
One of two closets in the primary, this WALK-IN CLOSET is golden. Subtle, but present, is attic access here. The home offers 3 separate attic spaces for extra storage. Please ask for the amenities sheet with these details and more.
These secondary bedrooms are sizable and continue with the original solid white-oak hardwoods. The walk-in closet is not shown here.
Just imagine a little one’s delight in this room. Trucks & dolls; books & trophies; stuffed animals & school photos. Set-up here for one; or perhaps bunk-beds for two? Terrific and rare walk-in closet.
A nook just right for your passion.
The frameless shower, a colorful tiled wall, updated plumbing, and white subway tile finish the cheery updates (2008 remodel).
BONUS! What every home needs----that something extra. This bonus room, rare in single-story ranches, is yours for the tailoring. You decide. Maybe its use changes over the years.
Maybe use the BONUS room as a nursery? [virtually staged]
Spacious and convenient laundry.
Imagine moments with loved ones here! Perfect for entertaining. Roasted chestnuts on an open fire?
Host a Super Bowl party from here!
And let the play begin! This sizable lot invites the outdoorsy type to thrive.
This birds-eye view highlights the highly desirable neighborhood. Its greenscape and tree canopy hint of rural life yet in an urban setting. The neighborhood is characterized with a combination of the old and new construction, a welcoming sight for many!
