Description

From the street, this 1952 house may resemble something from the space cartoon “The Jetsons,” but it is grounded in earthly pleasures. With a fantastic indoor – outdoor flow, almost every room in this house interacts with nature. Level-in to an open living, dining room and kitchen area, there are sliding glass doors that connect from each space to the yard filled with mature fruit trees (fig, apple, plum, lemon & mandarin) encircling the house. Down the hallway are three bedrooms and a bathroom,...From the street, this 1952 house may resemble something from the space cartoon “The Jetsons,” but it is grounded in earthly pleasures. With a fantastic indoor – outdoor flow, almost every room in this house interacts with nature.

Up a short flight of stairs is the double volume primary bedroom and loft office flooded with light. A small balcony looks onto the green Tilden hills, uninterrupted by other houses.
