The Home
Fall in love with this updated 1952 single level mid-century modern ranch. Outfitted with a Chef’s kitchen with a six-burner gas range and connected eating area, why would you ever want to leave home and eat at one of the many dining options in the area? Enjoy your breakfast, basking in the full Eastern morning light that filters in through the leaves of the maple tree that is picturesquely framed by the sliders to the backyard. Natural slate floors in the kitchen and eating area bring a sense of connectivity to the outdoors. Situated on a huge 8000 sq. ft. oversized lot, there is a lot of outdoors to connect to! Two bedrooms of the home even have their own private outdoor access. Outside of the cocoon of the bedrooms, wide hallways and original oak hardwood floors flow seamlessly toward the wood burning fireplace in the living room. Pass through the kitchen to the Powerhouse of the home—literally! An expansive bonus space it could be a bedroom suite, home office, or potential future ADU. Updated electrical gives one endless possibilities. The included darkroom is ideal for artists and spies.
Artists and mid-century lovers will admire the beauty of the unpainted mahogany trim. Another mid-century detail—the Roman Brick fireplace—adds to the charm of this long and low ranch. Another mid-century detail evident from the street: the board and batten siding, freshly painted with designer colors to compliment the bamboo stalks of the Japanese inspired landscaping in the front yard. Boring (but important!) upgrades are another feature of this home - the roof and water heater are only one year old.
Recently cleared (and enormous!) backyard is a blank canvas. Bring your imagination, and welcome to your new home!

The wandering minstrel song
Recalled
From dreams in the new rooms
You’ve slept
The structure afar holds promise
Of options
Cover
Shelter
Enclosed from the world of
Rushing to and from
To land, to live
Breathe bamboo sounds wind rustling
Leaves
