About The Property

Charming 1952 Mid-Century Ranch with Unique Character & Endless Potential! Step into a piece of history with this well-loved 1952 ranch-style home. This one-owner home beautifully reflects the craftsmanship and personality of its era, with customized elements. The spacious living room is the heart of the home, featuring an arched accent wall that adds warmth and architectural interest you simply won’t find in new construction. A large picture window floods the space with natural light. The kitchen offers generous cabinet storage and opens toward a dining area with a distinctive spindle-post room divider — a classic mid-century design touch. The adjacent bar, complete with a dramatic nautical backlit display, makes this home a natural entertainer’s space. The space by the bay window would function great as an extended dining area or a reading nook. The bathroom is a true standout, featuring an extraordinarily detailed hand-carved vanity with ornate scrollwork panels — a one-of-a-kind custom piece that elevates the entire room. Built-in linen storage, vintage light sconces on either side of the mirror, and the light teal bathtub add to the charm of the space. The primary bedroom offers mirrored closet doors and a cozy, private feel. The large walk-in closet was once a third bedroom. It could easily be converted back into a bedroom. The sellers customized the space to work for their needs at the time. The dedicated laundry room is impressively sized with abundant upper and lower cabinetry and a folding counter — a practical luxury rarely found at this price point. The convenient breezeway/mudroom entry offers access to the backyard. A concrete walkway leads to the classic boathouse/garage, boasting mid-century modern character with its dramatic overhang & upper-level bonus space. There’s also a drive from the front of the house (fenced in w/ gate access), back to the boathouse. Store more vehicles here, a boat, other recreational toys, or use as another space for entertaining, a workshop, or a studio. The upper level houses a fascinating model train layout, perfect for train enthusiasts or those who might want to learn the hobby! The layout is built into the room and will stay with the property. The surrounding yard is beautiful with many mature trees and garden beds throughout. Enjoy the backyard as your own private oasis! The interiors retain their original vintage character throughout, with period wallpapers, warm wood paneling, and retro color palettes that charm admirers of mid-century style. For those with an eye for design, this is a canvas ready for thoughtful updating. Here is a rare opportunity to carry on the soul of this home while adding your personal touches! Both the roof on the house and the roof on the boathouse have recently been replaced. The carpets were shampooed on 5/14.
