The Mid-Century Modern architectural masterpiece you've been waiting for is ready and available for you today! Perched atop historic Missionary Ridge, this home is sited on over an acre and masterfully blends architectural elegance with everyday comfort. Designed by the distinguished firm Hunt-Caton & Associates and constructed in 1962 with an addition in 2006 of an enlarged primary suite with a separate downstairs guest suite/apartment. When you step into the covered entry to the home you immediately experience the mid-century character with the grand double entry door and original escutcheons, architectural screens and original tile in the foyer. The foyer opens to a grand living room surrounded by large sliding glass doors allowing the indoor living room to spill outdoors onto the wrap-around cantilevered balcony. Passing back through the foyer you enter the spacious dining room featuring clearstory windows as well as a front wall of windows. The wet bar to the side of the dining room offers space for a coffee bar, cocktail bar or whatever you prefer. Entering the kitchen you will find beautiful original mid-century wood cabinets, a large central island, two refrigerator/freezers and a commercial Viking gas range. The rear wall looks out to the covered flagstone patio complete with a fireplace—perfect for year-round entertaining. From the kitchen you can exit through original interior twin sliding glass doors which lead to a breakfast area with another fantastic view of the outdoors. The breakfast area opens to a large den with a stone hearth with a wall of windows for abundant natural light. As you proceed to the bedroom wing you will notice the floating staircase with original railings leading down from the interior stone wall. The upstairs bedroom wing contains one guest bedroom with en-suite bath as well as the primary suite. The vast primary suite has everything you could dream of including two separate water closets, twin walk-in closets with built-ins, a jetted soaking tub and large walk-in shower. There is even a kitchenette in the primary suite to prepare morning coffee or snacks. The primary suite also features two fireplaces, a private deck and balcony for added comfort and luxury. Downstairs you will find two additional bedrooms with a shared "Jack and Jill" shower and separate half baths as well as a secluded third bedroom with en-suite bath. Tucked away beyond the mechanical room is an unconditioned room which is equipped for a home gym. Exiting the staircase to the private backyard you will find flagstone walkways leading to a standout feature of the property, the separate guest suite. This private suite is ideal for visitors, a rental unit, or a family member. The suite includes two built-in Murphy beds with bookcases, its own full kitchen and bathroom, and abundant large windows that flood the suite with natural light. The suite also has a large utility garage/storage space. The two-car carport includes an electric vehicle charger and is complemented by additional off-street parking.
