Discover this exquisite mid-century modern home. Nestled on a 6.36-acre treed estate, this property offers a serene hilltop setting with breathtaking views. Spanning 3, 030 square feet, the home is bathed in natural light courtesy of the multiple walls of windows that capture the sunlight, frame the surrounding landscape and seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor living. Architectural beams, a cozy fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and a balcony add to the home's unique character, while a rare bomb shelter adds a touch of historical intrigue. Accommodation includes three main-level bedrooms plus a two-story addition that houses a versatile second-floor space, perfect for a bedroom, living room, library, or a wonderful space to create art/music. The first floor is well designed, boasting a laundry room, a mudroom in the breezeway with shelving and stairs leading to a small basement, and a formal dining room with a built-in buffet. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated, paying homage to its origins with original cabinets preserved and stored in the garage. The outdoors is an entertainer's paradise, featuring massive brick and flagstone patios, complemented by multiple covered porches. 2-car attached and a 1.5-car detached garage, fountains, and the privacy afforded by its expansive acreage. Built in 1955, this property is a timeless masterpiece that offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history.
