About this home
Ineffably cool, true Mid-Century Modern home designed by Architect John Latimer. Built in 1954/55, it has the Modernist features/buzz words like butterfly roof, open floor plan, oversize windows--even some of the original Jalousie windows! Latimer also designed the remodel in '68, turning the original carport into an ensuite bedroom, bringing a new, three car carport forward, and turning what was the sunroom into the paneled, windowed loveliness it is today. The second bedroom can either function as an office, as it is currently used, or by bringing the roman shade down, can be used as a bedroom. Where you might see knotty pine paneling in most 50's houses, the paneling in this home is luscious cherry paneling--in the entry, kitchen, dining room, comfy sitting room, and sunroom. The sunroom also has a cherry paneled ceiling with a skylight. Nicely sized kitchen has original cherry cabinetry and the original stand-alone copper vent hood. The range, oven and refrigerator were replaced in 2023, along with new tile floor and quartz countertops. The dishwasher is older but ''works better than any DW I've ever had,'' say the home owners! Two of the three bedrooms are ensuite and either could function as primary bedrooms. The hall guest bath and back bedroom bath were beautifully remodeled in 2024--note the extra large showers in the back and front bathrooms! The front BR opens onto a private lanai and the bath was renovated/remodeled in 1995/96. Back BR features pearwood ceiling panels, pearwood bookshelves, split system heating/cooling, desk/writing/study nook and organized walk-in closet, and entrance to back patio. Very private, fenced back and side yards. The beautiful open shed was built in 2023 and has power to it. The laundry room is accessed outside off back patio. Private raised patio off the sunroom great for morning coffee, dining, protected from the sun and rain. This really is a must-see home in a fabulous neighborhood. You can't beat the location, being convenient to Guglhupf, Fosters, Nanas, Nuvo Taco, Q Shack, Thai Cafe, Wine Authority, Boot Room and Beer Study--all within walking distance. Exercise off all that food by walking to the nearby, recently renovated Rockwood Park....
