Property is move-in ready.
This 1948 mid-century modern home is move-in ready and features high-end, well-maintained amenities including a sparkling pool, spa, sauna, and built-in outdoor heating. The contemporary wood-and-glass design, vaulted ceilings, and the conversion of the garage into a modern workspace indicate significant updates and pride of ownership. While the original structure is older, the luxury features and architectural preservation suggest the systems and finishes are well-maintained and functional without the need for immediate renovation.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7237, living area = 1269.
Designed by artist Phil Paradise, this contemporary wood-and-glass home features vaulted ceilings and walls of glass that offer a unique, artistic mid-century aesthetic.
The property is equipped with a rare level of luxury for its size, including a sparkling pool, spa, sauna, and a built-in barbecue area with integrated outdoor heating.
At 1,269 square feet with only two bedrooms, the interior living space is relatively small for the $1.659M price point, potentially limiting its appeal to larger families.
The conversion of a portion of the garage into an office/workspace reduces traditional covered parking and storage capacity, which may be a concern for some buyers.
