About this home
MID-CENTURY MODERN—ORIGINAL, ONLY BETTER! A rare blend of authentic mid-century character & thoughtful modern improvements! Nestled among towering evergreens in a quiet cul-de-sac, this distinctive cedar-shingled home feels like a peaceful woodland retreat. Dramatic walls of windows, clerestory glass & exposed wood beams fill the interior with natural light while beautifully framing the surrounding landscape. Time-honored craftsmanship shines through in the handcrafted cabinetry, custom woodwork and period-style built-ins. Original mid-century cabinetry has been refreshed with a handsome lacquer finish, while new SPC luxury vinyl plank flooring and terrazzo tile complement the home’s classic design. The kitchen retains its architectural integrity while offering updated countertops & a new sink. Three bedrooms feature original oak hardwoods & the redesigned primary ensuite delivers a spa-inspired walk-in shower, special-order Delta fixtures and a new vanity. A lower-level office & spacious family room provide valuable flexibility, while customized storage, a laundry chute and utility sink add everyday convenience. The outdoor setting is truly exceptional! Wander graveled garden paths beneath mature rhododendrons, native ferns and stately evergreens. Architecturally distinctive, extensively improved and rich with original character—this is mid-century living as it was meant to be! Behind the scenes, substantial improvements have been made – ask for our detailed features list!
