On Cumberland Rd above where Central Ave. meets Kenneth Rd. is this 1-story Mid-Century with stunning views just waiting to be tricked out. Freshly painted and new carpets, this home is over 2000 sq. ft. All awesome views at the top of very private driveway. There is a unique 2 sided fireplace that separates the big Living and Dining Rooms. Both Bedrooms and Bathrooms are good-sized and have vintage built-in cabinetry. Off the Kitchen is an enclosed Lanai that takes advantage of the grand sweeping views. Also between the 2 car Garage and the Service Porch is another Bonus Room great for a Gym or Home Office. Extent of updating is unknown, but there is Central A/H. New comp. roof in 2003. The views are to-die-for and this home sits high enough to never be threatened by any building below. Trust Sale.
