Welcome to a rare find. This home has elements of mid-century modern, contemporary, and ranch features. If you're looking for unique, this is your new home. I was struck by not only the overall beauty, but by how each element of the home melds into the next. You'll see the winding staircase, wonderful rock fireplace, warm wooden beams, a trickling fountain and an eclectic blend of modern in various spaces. Once you hit the kitchen you'll be knocked out. It has state-of-the-art GE Cafe matte black and copper appliances (stainless steel handle replacements if preferred) and you can turn on the oven as you're driving home! Each aspect of the home was reimagined when the owner/designer purchased it. Even the outdoors spared no creativity taking on a very trendy yet enduring flare. It has a matte black exterior mixed with rock and a wonderfully modern, richly-colored, blond deck that invites you to finally enjoy your friendships right at home. This is only the beginning of what can and should be mentioned, including the wonderful master en suite, but you'll want to see this gem for yourself. Please call for showings.
