On the market for the first time in 40 years, this special home has been updated with a contemporary design by the noted architect Robert Hsiung. In 1978, the owners took what was a dark porch and gloomy entryway and transformed it into a dramatic, light filled two-story foyer, reminiscent of a Bauhaus design. The kitchen was completely renovated in 2007. Off the kitchen is a Hsiung designed family room with large windows which provide a wonderful view of the yard. Floors are being refinished!
