While Martin Luther King dreamt, and others go-go danced to The Beatles, architects in the sixties were designing homes like this one.
There's little to see from the street front, thanks to tall private fencing, but beneath the asymmetrical roofline, this property brims with the era's definitive design features. Modernising the home, a recent renovation takes heed in preserving its mid-century origin. Characteristic exposed beams sit overhead while practical, on-trend polished concrete runs underfoot. Custom kitchen cabinetry and exposed shelving in central living create timeless Scandinavian appeal, and flanking these spaces are large windows, which welcome abundant natural light.
The nostalgic appease continues throughout all three bedrooms, sensibly sectioned toward the opposite end of the home. The master not only boasts a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite but access too, to a hidden outdoor nook. Concealed in established planting, it's a sanctum on sunny days.
Don't think it can get any better? With its proximity to the beach, ample off street parking, convenient amenities, and desirable school zoning - it just did.
Regardless of whether you're an avid fan of architecture and design, this property, the location, and the lifestyle accompanying it are highly desirable and won't last long.
