This exceptional mid-century modern home, designed by acclaimed architect Max Flatow, masterfully blends timeless design with modern updates and a truly breathtaking landscape. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood in the city’s heart, the property offers a rare fusion of architectural distinction and natural serenity.
Step inside to find original mid-century character—signature vintage free-standing fireplace, expansive sliding glass doors, formal dining, and sunken living room. An updated kitchen featuring steel countertops, 6-burner Dacor range, stainless steel appliances, wine fridge, built-in desk, and pantry closet. The updated primary bath and walk-out basement with bath offer convenience and flexibility. Replumbed in 2024 with a roof replaced just 1.5 years ago, this home is as solid as it is beautiful.
The professionally designed landscape is a true showpiece. A naturalistic riverbed winds through the yard, feeding a serene pond home to bullfrogs, lily pads, and goldfish. A Trex deck overlooks the pond for relaxed outdoor living. The yard includes a secondary reflecting garden with its own water feature and is adorned with a rich tapestry of redbuds, honeysuckle, bamboo, a Japanese maple, and a graceful weeping cherry tree just to name a few. Pathways meander through lush vegetation, leading to hidden seating areas, including a charming “secret garden” perfect for peaceful moments or quiet reading. Multiple levels offer private nooks for gathering or reflection, all surrounded by one-of-a-kind, landscape-architect-designed beauty. Storage sheds add functionality to this private retreat.
A rare opportunity to own an iconic home where architecture and landscape are seamlessly connected in a secluded, park-like setting.
