Mid-Century Charm Meets Modern Comfort! This 1958 light-filled mid-century classic blends timeless style with thoughtful updates for today’s living. The open floor plan features beautiful wood floors throughout, original natural trim and moldings, and preserved era-specific cabinetry, bringing that iconic ’50s look to life. Updated in all the right ways, this home retains its classic charm while offering modern efficiency; new triple-pane windows, new HVAC, updated plumbing and electrical, new roof and exterior paint in fall 2024, plus an electric car charger. The kitchen has been tastefully updated, while keeping its original cabinets and charming pass-through to the dining room, seamlessly marrying vintage appeal with functionality. Enjoy movie nights or game time in the cozy family room just off the kitchen. The main floor also includes a spacious living and dining area perfect for entertaining and gathering, a full bath, and a bedroom. Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully renovated bathroom with tile, new fixtures and double sinks. The basement offers tall ceilings, a second fireplace, an updated half bath, and endless potential for future living space or creative use. Set on a fully fenced, oversized lot with mature Pacific Northwest landscaping, blueberries, strawberries, a firepit, wood shed, and room to roam, this yard is a park-like retreat. Expansive windows bring the outdoors in and fill the home with natural light year-round. An attached double garage and two additional off-street parking spaces are rare bonuses. Originally built by the church next door for their pastor, this home was designed with quality, comfort, and livability in mind. Classic style, solid systems, and exceptional character— this is the one! HES 2
