A rare opportunity in the fall market, the Frank and Berniece Daddario House is a well-preserved example of mid-century modern design. Eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, it features clean lines, extensive glazing, and a highly functional floor plan that reflects its architectural heritage. Set on over an acre of wooded land, the thoughtful siting and gradual approach create a strong sense of arrival. Post and beam construction with a consistent grid system visible from the patterned concrete patios to the exposed ceiling beams reinforces this property's intentional design. The main level offers spacious areas for living, dining, cooking, and relaxing, with a refined mix of slate, glass, and brick throughout. The lower level, the majority of which is above grade, includes additional bedrooms, office space, a workshop, and another living area. True to its mid-century design, many rooms connect directly to patios and outdoor spaces. Recent updates include flooring, bathrooms, HVAC, hardscaping, and more, allowing the original architecture to shine. Located less than 4 miles from downtown, this home offers a unique blend of style, space, and convenience.
Designed by architect Frank DePasquale for original owner Frank D'addario, this midcentury modern home blends retro charm and updated amenities. Nestled on 1.3 wooded acres just minutes from downtown, this home is both private and convenient. Newer additions to this stunning property include an updated kitchen (2012), storage shed, & 3/4 acres of fencing.
