Property Description
This mid-century modern home is a piece of history, designed by renowned architect Francis Donald Lethbridge, it has been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully upgraded. This 1952 treasure exhibits countless character defining elements and features of the modern era: vaulted ceilings, huge industrial-grade windows, clerestory windows, and 2 asymmetrical brick fireplaces (wood burning + gas burning). Skylights, floor-to-ceiling windows, and stretched horizontal windows span entire rooms to seamlessly bring nature into the home.
Spanning across 3,250 sq ft on 2 levels, there are 4 true bedrooms (with the opportunity for a 5th), 3 full bathrooms, and 5 other spaces that live as living rooms, dens, and bonus spaces. The kitchen, bathrooms, and the interior are freshly painted and the oak hardwood floors have been refinished. This mid-century modern home will transport you to a place of serenity and joy, making entertaining and daily living effortless.
This home features one of the largest lots that you will find in The Highpoint community.
A premium corner lot, it spans a quarter of an acre with mature and beautiful landscaping, perennial flowers, and flowering shrubs that bloom year round. There is a long, private driveway that allows for you to park over 3 cars. The backyard is a private and serene space with a large bluestone patio that overlooks the large flat grassy backyard that is framed out with a treescreen and flowering scrubs.
