Description

Discover a truly distinctive piece of Mid-Century Modern architecture-a 1951 ranch home with timeless design, generous space, and a remarkably large downtown lot. From its striking asymmetric shed roofline and expansive windows to its warm buff- toned brick and mature landscaping, this home embodies what makes Mid-Century Modern design endure: simplicity, natural materials, light, and a seamless connection to the landscape. The elevated roofline creates high clerestory windows that bring light deep inside while preserving privacy. Inside, the shifting roof height and split-level plan create real drama-moving from intimate spaces into a soaring great room accented by original wood paneling and built-ins. The design carries an unmistakable connection to Bauhaus architect Marcel Breuer, whose work explored masonry, natural materials, asymmetrical forms, and dramatic rooflines-a rare chance to own genuine mid-century character, not a modern imitation. The main residence offers three bedrooms, one full bath, a living room with fireplace, a formal dining room, and a walk-out basement for workspace, storage, or hobby space. Reconditioned original hardwood floors preserve the home's 1951 warmth. Separate in- law quarters connect via a breezeway, with a shared living room and kitchen plus an upper-level bedroom, full bath, and a new mini-split-ideal for extended family, guests, a private retreat, or rental income. Mechanical upgrades include a new furnace, central air, new wiring, a 75-gallon gas water heater, and a durable metal roof. The property's biggest surprise is its land: a corner lot of nearly 1.5 acres with mature shade trees and a generous yard, offering a private, park-like setting rarely found downtown. All city utilities are available, the lot borders State Road 56 at the rear, and high-speed internet is available. This is more than a house-it's a rare chance to own authentic Mid-Century Modern design, preserved with important updat
