Set on a prominent corner lot with seasonal...A true mid-century modern gem, this exceptionally preserved Shoreland Heights home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural character that has been lovingly maintained by the same owner for more than 50 years. From its distinctive lines and thoughtful layout to the original details that make mid-century homes so sought after, 302 Garden Road feels remarkably authentic while offering the condition and care that are increasingly difficult to find. Set on a prominent corner lot with seasonal views of Fountain Lake, the home features Andersen windows throughout most of the main level, a spacious deck for outdoor entertaining, and beautiful hardwood floors waiting beneath the carpet in two of the main-level bedrooms. Major mechanical updates are already complete with a new furnace and air conditioner in 2025, allowing the next owner to focus on making the home their own while preserving its incredible mid-century style. The lower level expands the living space with brand-new carpet, a classic basement bar the sellers are willing to leave, and a fourth non-conforming bedroom that offers an easy opportunity to add an egress window and build immediate equity. A storage shed provides additional outdoor storage, while the sellers are also willing to leave the office desk and file cabinet, lower-level refrigerator, and garage chest freezer. Impeccably cared for, wonderfully original, and full of the design details that mid-century modern enthusiasts search for, this is the kind of home that simply cannot be recreated.
