First time on the market in more than 40 years, this thoughtfully maintained mid-century ranch is the kind of home buyers quietly wait for. Lovingly cared for by just its second owners for over four decades, it offers something increasingly hard to find- a home that has been preserved, updated with intention, and genuinely cherished over time.
The 1,829-square-foot main home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open kitchen, dining, and living area, plus a separate flex room or den. The interior remodel draws inspiration from the home's mid-century roots, blending clean, functional design with warm original character. The kitchen includes semi-custom flat-panel cabinetry, quartz countertops, a Wolf range, and a stainless steel appliance suite, while the window above the sink frames views of the spacious front yard and winding street. Both bathrooms have been tastefully updated with a subtle mid-century modern influence- creating a cohesive design. Throughout the home, original details remain intact- from the charming telephone table in the entry to the large corner living room window and vintage screen doors off the dining room- echoes of the past blend with modern finishes.
The detached 366-square-foot guest house adds flexibility with vaulted ceilings, clerestory windows, a ¾ bath, and room for a kitchenette. Whether used for guests, multigenerational living, rental income, or a creative workspace, it's a valuable extension of the property.
The expansive lot includes a water-wise garden of native plants and shade trees, a covered patio, and outdoor storage.
Located near everyday conveniences like grocers, hospitals, parks, and the popular restaurants and shopping of Melrose, this home is a rare opportunity for someone who appreciates well-cared-for mid-century homes with authenticity, warmth, and lasting quality.
