WOW! Built in 1964, this mid-century modern gem will charm you from the minute you walk in the door. Flooded with light and graced with high-ceilings, the main room features a wall of glass which leads you out into a large private yard. A renovation with Riverbank Custom Homes was completed in 2011—including many new windows, hardwood floors, and 2.5 baths with custom built-ins, Carrara marble and glass tile, quartz countertops, and radiant heat floors. Kitchen is ready for you to design & make your own!
