Step into a masterclass of Mid-Century Modern design at 4142 Santa Rita Road. This expansive residence perfectly captures the era’s optimistic spirit, blending iconic architectural bones with thoughtful, contemporary updates that honor its heritage; featuring two primary suites, an in-home office, huge recreation room, and central A/C, this home is sure to check all of the boxes. The heart of the home is defined by soaring floor-to-ceiling windows that erase the boundary between indoors and out, flooding the living spaces with natural light and framing views of the lush greenery outside. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party under the glow of period-appropriate lighting or enjoying a quiet morning with a book, the open-concept layout feels both grand and incredibly intimate. Every corner of this home has been curated to embrace its mid-century roots, from the clean lines and rich textures to the seamless flow onto the large, private lot. The outdoor space is a true sanctuary, offering a sprawling canvas for gardening, dining al fresco, or soaking in the tranquility of your own secluded retreat. Rarely does a home of this scale and stylistic integrity become available. It’s more than just a house; it’s a lifestyle piece for those who appreciate timeless design and a connection to the landscape. Open House Saturday 2:30-4:30pm
