Truly one of a kind! Step into the dramatic skylight atrium & experience a home that perfectly blends iconic mid-century design with modern upgrades. Thoughtfully rebuilt, the owners refinished hardwood floors, preserved vaulted wood ceilings, and chose new fixtures to complement the mid-century modern style - like black floor-to-ceiling windows & a chic Malm fireplace. Major system updates include electric, plumbing, furnace, foundation, windows, new exterior paint, EV charging & a long-life metal roof. Fantastic layout with 4 beds, 4 baths, family room, flex spaces & tons of storage. There is truly room for everyone in this house! Set on nearly half an acre surrounded by trees, this exceptionally private sanctuary features sitting areas, garden beds, a greenhouse, lawn & huge Trex deck.
