Attention design lovers: You won't want to miss this contemporary, super-private home built in 1977 by an architect for his personal home. It backs to 10-acres of undevelopable land and is adjacent to an elementary school yard with a walking path and updated playground. AND it's on a cul-de-sac. The home's earth tones, natural materials, and large windows maximize light and nature outside. Upon entering, there is a brick foyer that leads into the living through a hallway that would make a gorgeous gallery wall. The open living room/dining room includes a Midcentury Modern white enamel, wood-burning fireplace. (Never used by the owner but she believes it works & just needs cleaning.) Sliding-glass doors lead you to a balcony with Trex maintenance-free decking. It even has a fire pole between the first and second floors! Each room has zoned heating and cooling so you can set the temperature with an individual thermostat. The kitchen features granite counters, original Wood-Mode cabinets, pocket doors, and a large walk-in pantry. There is a main floor primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, sink and shower. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms and a full bath. The larger bedroom includes a dressing room with a built-in dresser, sink, and large walk-in closet. The other bedroom has a small office adjacent to it (it's plumbed for a washer & dryer) and has access to the bathroom. The basement features a non-conforming bedroom and houses the washer and dryer. Attached 2-car garage.
