Rare opportunity to own a pristine, authentically preserved mid-century modern home directly across from scenic Wapato Park. This architectural gem showcases iconic original details, including the signature three-diamond light front door and true-to-era character throughout—an unspoiled example of classic 1960s design. Original hardwood floors, clean lines, and a bright, sun-filled layout highlight the home’s timeless style. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this two-story home with a full basement blends vintage charm with flexible living. The main level includes three bedrooms, while the finished basement adds a private fourth bedroom, additional bath with walk-in tub, expansive rec room, and separate entry—ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a home office. Ample parking includes a 2-car garage, detached garage/shop, and covered carport, plus alley access for RV parking or projects. Freshly painted and meticulously maintained, this move-in ready home also features a fully fenced backyard and easy access to amenities, parks, and transit. Lot next door also available under MLS 2498186
