About this home

Perfectly Preserved MID CENTURY MODERN split level home constructed in 1954. This home exemplifies a distinctive piece of architectural history. It features over 2400 sqft of finished living space on a beautiful double lot with fenced yard, mature shade trees, an open patio and recently updated landscaping with complementary grasses and rocks. What makes this home like no other is the exceptional craftsmanship throughout the home, highlighted by built in bookshelves, custom cabinetry and stunning stone fireplace. Natural light floods the interior, courtesy of carefully designed windows and indirect lighting that enhances the living and dining areas. Upon entering you will be greeted by a polished stone entry and rich natural wood paneling and ceilings. Six distinctive quality woods included light Philippine Mahogany, Redwood, Willow Birch, Fir and Walnut, all with fine furniture finish. The bifurcated floor layout is meticulously designed to create three distinct types of living spaces, with open spaces and private areas.
