Fresh. Bright. Effortlessly Mid-Century Modern. This is what mid-century modern was always meant to feel like. Thoughtfully reimagined while honoring its architectural roots, this beautifully updated Alliance home showcases soaring post and beam cathedral ceilings, walls of glass, and signature clerestory louvered windows that fill the home with natural light and promote exceptional airflow through its original passive solar design. The completely redesigned kitchen is the centerpiece of the home, featuring a generous eat-in island, gray quartz countertops, abundant custom cabinetry, designer lighting, a striking tile backsplash, and a charming breakfast nook that opens seamlessly to the spacious great room. Fresh interior and exterior paint, light wood-look flooring, mini-split heating and air conditioning, and beautifully remodeled bathrooms with floating vanities and contemporary finishes create a home that is both stylish and move-in ready. Multiple outdoor living spaces extend the home's living area, including a covered front patio, a pergola retreat just outside the bedroom wing, and a beautifully landscaped wraparound yard with mature trees, artificial turf, and a raised irrigated garden bed planted with flowers and vegetables. A detached two-car garage with laundry provides additional storage and functionality. Ideally located near neighborhood parks, highly regarded schools, shopping, restaurants, local markets, and commuter routes, this exceptional Alliance home offers the perfect balance of iconic mid-century architecture, thoughtful modern updates, and an easy California lifestyle.
