Property Description

Owned by the same family for 69 years, this home is truly special. Located in ever-popular Lower Hastings Ranch, this 1954 home has been updated and expanded for changing needs but retains glimpses of its mid-century roots and character! A gracious front courtyard leads to the double-door entry with original built-ins. The living room features original millwork and a stately stacked stone fireplace with a front-facing window that looks out to the shady entry courtyard and a rear-facing sliding door that opens to the trellised back patio. The living room and formal dining area are an open plan that leads to the spacious kitchen with ample cabinet space and is the heart of the family entertaining space. Beyond the kitchen is the sun-filled breakfast room that has a sliding door opening to the sparkling pool. Adjacent is the large family room with fireplace and a sliding door to the rear lawn and gardens. The main floor is complete with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms including the primary suite. The primary bedroom is generously sized and has a sliding door to the peaceful side yard. It is hard to imagine the next owner needing more closet space, the room has 4 closets including a massive walk-in with custom closet system! The second floor is comprised of two bedrooms, a hall bath with clawfoot tub, and a large flexible room that the current owner previously used as a crafting space but could be a robust home office, rec room, or reimagined into a secondary primary suite. This wonderful home is ideal for entertaining with all of the gathering spaces opening to the large flat backyard with a trellised patio, inviting pool and spa, and lawn and mature garden areas. The home is complete with an attached 2-car garage and a large circular driveway with an additional fenced parking area. This spacious home is comfortable and elegant, retains original mid-century details and character, has been updated for modern needs, and is ready for a new owner to cherish it!
