Attention design lovers: You won't want to miss this contemporary, super-private home designed and built in 1977 by an architect for his personal home. It backs to 10-acres of undevelopable land and is adjacent to an elementary school yard with a walking path and updated playground. AND it's on a cul-de-sac. The home's earth tones, natural materials, and large windows maximize light and nature outside. Upon entering, there is a brick foyer that leads into the living through a grasscloth-covered hallway that would make a gorgeous gallery wall. The open living room/dining room is flooded with light and includes a Midcentury Modern white enamel, wood-burning fireplace. (It has never been used by current owner but she believes it works and just needs to be cleaned.) Sliding- glass doors lead you to a balcony with Trex maintenance-free decking. It even has a fire pole between the first and second floors! Each room has zoned heating and cooling so you can set the temperature in every room with an individual thermostat on the wall. The kitchen features granite counters, original Wood-Mode cabinets, pocket doors, and a large walk-in pantry. There is a main floor primary bedroom with half bath. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms and a full bath. The larger bedroom includes a dressing room with a built-in dresser, sink, makeup mirror, and large walk-in closet. The other bedroom has a small office adjacent to it (and it's plumbed for a washer & dyer) and has access to the bathroom.
