This mid-century modern home will be sold at online only auction. This architecturally distinctive 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence spans 2,684 square feet on a 0.332-acre lot, showcasing the clean lines and open floor plan characteristic of 1950s design. The home features hardwood floors throughout, large windows that provide abundant natural light, and a wood-burning fireplace with an impressive wood mantle at the front of the house. The formal dining room and eat-in kitchen maintain the home's mid-century aesthetic, while the den features period-appropriate stained glass windows. The master bedroom includes a cedar-lined walk-in closet. Additional features include a convenient office space located just inside the entrance behind the carport. The property features a chain link fenced backyard that has become an overgrown sanctuary for wildlife. This example of mid-century modern architecture presents an opportunity for buyers seeking to restore and customize this home. Please note the home needs some work including water leaks in the ceiling and the carport has some termite damage. The online auction begins to end August 21, 2025 at 2:00 PM.
Imagine starting your morning with coffee in the sun-drenched living room, enjoying the warmth of the front fireplace. The den's beautiful stained glass windows are illuminated with interior lighting, creating a magical ambiance in this central space. Natural light filters through the skylight in the spacious back hallway, adding brightness throughout the home. The great room addition offers a perfect casual gathering space with provisions for a mini fridge and small sink, plus a full bath - ideal for entertaining or creating a teen hangout area. Your home office provides the perfect quiet retreat for work, while evenings can be spent observing wildlife that has made your overgrown backyard their sanctuary. This home offers the opportunity to live within a piece of architectural history while creating your own modern story.
