Property Description
Nestled on a 1.19-acre corner lot, this distinctive Mid-Century Modern home—designed by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright—offers timeless architecture, vintage charm, and unique character. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, a pool, and a separate in-law suite, this home is truly one of a kind.
Upon arrival, you're welcomed by a curved block privacy wall that encloses what could be a tranquil courtyard, setting the tone for the home's unique design. The shared covered entryway provides access to both the main residence and the private in-law apartment.
Inside, the spacious foyer showcases vintage broken tile flooring that evokes a sense of nostalgia. The expansive great room boasts a striking brick fireplace and oversized glass sliding doors that open to a screened-in lanai, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
The kitchen features custom birch cabinetry, a new dishwasher and a new wall-mounted oven, a cooktop, pantry, breakfast bar, and built-in wine rack—ideal for entertaining and everyday living. Adjacent to the kitchen, the large formal dining room is accented by a retro see-through wall screen, adding a fun vintage flair.
Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room flood the space with natural light and offer distant views of Lake Eva. The spacious primary bedroom suite includes double cedar closets and a private en-suite bath. Three additional bedrooms and a guest bath provide plenty of room for family or visitors.
Storage is abundant, with built-in hallway closets and a massive 5x22 utility/laundry room. The private in-law suite offers its own entrance, charming vintage wood paneling, built-in storage, and a full bathroom—ideal for guests or extended family.
Step outside to your own backyard retreat: a screened lanai with spa hot tub, a 16x32 in-ground pool, and a cabana with half bath—perfect for summer gatherings and weekend relaxation.
Additional features include: Updated Roof (2022), New AC System (2024), Irrigation System, Fenced Pool Area, Storage Shed, Mature Trees for Shade and Privacy, Circular Driveway with Ample Off-Street Parking and a 2-Car Carport.
