Mid-century charm meets thoughtful modern living in this wonderful 1952 home. From the beautifully landscaped front yard to the welcoming wraparound porch, there's a sense of character from the moment you arrive. Step inside and you'll find original mahogany paneling-a little wink to the home's era-alongside thoughtful updates and design-forward details throughout. Douglas fir-framed windows, an oversized picture window overlooking the backyard, and carefully chosen lighting bring warmth and personality to the living spaces, while French doors open to the deck and expansive backyard. Downstairs, the daylight basement adds even more room to settle in, with a cozy family room made for movie nights and a dedicated hot tub room that's ready for the ultimate end-of-day unwind. Outside, the backyard feels like its own private escape. A custom-built, covered daybed tucked beneath the tall pines creates the perfect spot to curl up with a book, unwind, and listen to the birds. And for the tinkerer, fitness buff, or outdoor enthusiast, the shipping container offers flexible space for a workshop, gym, gear storage, or whatever your next project calls for. With a new furnace, A/C and an updated bathroom featuring a deep soaking tub, this home strikes that sweet spot: the character and craftsmanship of its era, thoughtfully updated for the way we live today.
