Property Description
Mid-century character meets an incredible wooded setting in this distinctive 1965 hillside home adjacent to Krape Park. Situated on nearly an acre, this one-of-a-kind property offers over 4,000 sq. ft. of finished living space with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Expansive windows, clean architectural lines and a dramatic skylit atrium create a strong connection to the surrounding landscape, while multiple balconies and patios extend the living space outdoors. Throughout the home, you'll find an impressive collection of thoughtful, clever features and built-ins designed for everyday living, along with abundant storage and surprises around nearly every corner. Generous living spaces, beautiful wood floors and two fireplaces provide plenty of room to spread out, entertain or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings. One of the property's greatest surprises is just how private it feels while still being right in town. The wooded lot adjoins approximately 11 acres of undeveloped Krape Park land, creating a peaceful natural backdrop and frequent visits from deer, foxes, wild turkeys and pileated woodpeckers. A newer metal roof and solar panels add modern efficiency while the home retains so much of its original mid-century personality. Unique, functional and full of character, this is a home you truly have to walk through to appreciate.
