**OFFERS TO BE REVIEWED MONDAY 8/17 AT NOON** Set behind a canopy of Japanese maples, this 1953 mid-century modern home has been thoughtfully and extensively renovated from the ground up, blending its original architecture with high-end, current-day finishes. Sixteen years of careful stewardship show in every detail, inside and out. The entry sets the tone immediately: a floating wood door beneath a beamed breezeway, flanked by sculpted maples and open skylights that wash the entry hall in natural light. Step inside to walk-off slate flooring, a wood-paneled den with built-in bookshelves, a gas fireplace, and sightlines that carry straight through to the shady courtyard below Heated large-format tile runs throughout the main entertaining level, warming the kitchen, living, and dining spaces underfoot. The kitchen is a serious cook's galley: warm toned cabinetry, stacked Miele wall ovens, a six-burner range with a full stainless hood, and quartz countertops throughout. A wet bar with glass-front cabinetry and a separate beverage fridge sits nearby. A bar-height marble island with storage and a bookshelf base opens to the dining and living spaces. Just off the kitchen, a sliding door leads to a shady courtyard patio perfect for barbecuing and effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The living room is the heart of the home, featuring a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace beneath vaulted, tongue-and-groove fir ceilings, and walls of glass opening to a covered outdoor dining and entertaining terrace. All four bedrooms live together on the entry level. The primary suite is a true retreat, with Venetian plaster walls, a large walk-in closet, and a beautifully updated bath with heated limestone floors. The Primary's private deck faces the Ahtanum ridgeline, where you'll watch the hills shift with color and light throughout the day and across the seasons. Three additional bedrooms share a spa-like bathroom with heated limestone floors, honed countertops and a large soaking tub. The lower level, accessible from the pool, adds serious flexibility, with a second living room, a half bath, a dressing room, wine storage, a large laundry/utility room, and an unfinished storage area or workshop. Outside, the transformation continues. The pool and surrounding patios, stairs and walls have been fully rebuilt, framed by ornamental grasses, concrete capped stacked stone retaining walls, and a fire pit made for evening gatherings. Poolside amenities include an outdoor kitchenette with a sink and beverage fridge. Beyond the pool, the yard unfolds through carefully curated garden spaces with quiet places to sit and enjoy the shade beneath mature trees, providing a true sense of space and privacy on this centrally located .47-acre lot. This is a rare offering: a true mid-century original that has been renovated with restraint and vision rather than stripped of its character.
