A rare opportunity to own a home where architectural character, privacy and comfortable living come together beautifully. Set on an oversized corner lot in a sought-after southside neighborhood, this custom mid-century residence has a rich design history - its original plans were featured in House Beautiful's Building Manual. From the moment you enter the enclosed courtyard, the home feels like a private retreat. Expansive windows bring the outdoors in, including striking floor-to-ceiling picture windows in the living room overlooking the garden. The inviting family room, with its beamed ceiling, fireplace and built-in bookcase, connects naturally to both the courtyard and backyard. The kitchen enjoys backyard views and offers generous cabinetry, a built-in desk and a comfortable dining area. Hardwood floors, a classic clay tile roof and distinctive architectural details throughout reflect the craftsmanship and character of the home. The thoughtfully designed bedroom wing includes four well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own closets and built-ins. The hall bathroom is conveniently located for both family and guests. The spacious primary suite offers a private en suite bath, built-in drawers and sliding glass door providing direct access to the backyard and pool.
