Just minutes from shopping and dining near Cedarbrook Plaza, the location combines everyday convenience with a peaceful suburban setting. Inside, natural light pours through oversized windows, including a dramatic gable-end wall of floor-to-ceiling glass that fills the main living spaces with sunshine year-round. A soaring vaulted ceiling enhances the open living and dining rooms, while a wood-burning fireplace creates a warm focal point for gatherings and quiet evenings at home. Mid-century architectural details remain beautifully intact, from the sculptural staircase and original handrail design to the home’s clean lines and airy layout. The newer kitchen offers updated functionality and style, and recent HVAC improvements provide comfort and efficiency. Retro bathrooms add personality and vintage charm, complementing the home’s authentic character. With 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, convenient powder room, and a bonus room on the first floor , this home offers flexible living space, timeless design, and a rare opportunity to own a light-filled mid-century gem in one of the area’s most convenient neighborhoods.
