A Nature-Lover’s Mid-Century Modern Retreat in the Heart of the City Tired of cookie-cutter floor plans? Step into this one-of-a-kind mid-century modern masterpiece, originally designed by a local architect to celebrate light, space, and the beauty of nature. Set on a large, heavily wooded lot bursting with diverse native vegetation, this home feels more like a mountain retreat than an urban address. Follow winding nature paths beneath a lush canopy of trees, pause to watch butterflies, birds, and deer from your rooftop deck, and let the serenity of the landscape wash over you. Inside, the contemporary open floor plan showcases warm hardwood floors, an updated kitchen that flows effortlessly into the dramatic family room—anchored by soaring walls of glass and a striking shiplap staircase that doubles as a sculptural centerpiece. Perfectly balancing architectural character with modern comfort, this home embodies the best of mid-century design—natural light, organic connection to the outdoors, and timeless craftsmanship. Come see why this is not just another home—it’s a living, breathing work of art.
