Classic Mid-Century Retreat in the Heart of Morningside Step into a piece of stylish history with this stunning mid-century home in Morningside. With privacy that sits up high among the trees, nestled on almost 3/4 of an acre, backing up to a serene nature preserve in the coveted Morningside Elementary district. The setting feels like a permanent treehouse — yet you're minutes from everything. The home's signature layout anchors a sunken living room that flows seamlessly into the raised dining area, where columns, rich hardwood floors, and a modern chandelier set the tone for effortless entertaining. A wall of windows floods the space with natural light while framing the lush wooded backdrop that makes this property truly one of a kind. The updated kitchen delivers bold character with floor-to-ceiling navy cabinetry, warm butcher block counters, a subway tile backsplash, and a professional sub-zero separate column refrigerator/freezer — and of course, a wine fridge for the oenophiles. The adjacent family room features wood panel walls, built-in bookshelves, a flat-screen TV, and a sleek modern ceiling fan — the perfect retreat after a long day. The show-stopping sunroom is the signature piece on the rear of the home with floor-to-ceiling glass and original brick, offering panoramic views of the wooded nature preserve, regular visits from a family of deer and other inhabitants through every season. With morning coffee, it's the kind of room you'll never want to leave. Bedrooms are generously sized and full of personality, each with abundant natural light and wooded views. The primary suite includes two separate closets and a private shower bathroom. The second bedroom has en suite access to the shared hall bath with the third bedroom. Arrival offers a 2-car covered carport next to driveway parking for 5-6 cars. Next, you can enter the house through the laundry/mud room adjacent to the kitchen. The fourth bedroom and third bath are located through the mudroom making it a great home office or guest room. The external full-height, daylight basement allows for easy access to plenty of storage. Don't miss this opportunity to be "Mad Men" in Morningside!
