Expanded and updated Midcentury-Mod home in the delightful Turning Mill neighborhood. Close to Estabrook School and conservation trails, and with a bonded membership in the beloved Paint Rock neighborhood pool, the location of this natural light-filled home is idyllic. Set on a large, private, level lot bordered by woods. The owners have lovingly maintained the house, preserving key period fixtures while updating it. Key updates include adding large windows and skylights, updating the bathrooms, a new hot water heater in 2024, a new roof in 2005 (partially redone in '25), and installing floors. The patio was rebuilt and reinforced in '24, the driveway was repaved in '25, and the garage door was replaced in May '26. A 1-car garage and the front entrance share a foyer/mudroom overlooking a Zen garden. A full basement offers plenty of storage and houses the systems. 5 bedrooms and almost 2,500 s.f. of living area provide ample space for spreading out, working from home, and guest space.
