Description
A true mid-century modern gem, this exceptionally preserved Shoreland Heights home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural character that has been lovingly maintained by the same owner for more than 50 years. From its distinctive lines and thoughtful layout to the original details that make mid-century homes so sought after, this home feels remarkably authentic while offering a level of care that is increasingly difficult to find. Set on a prominent corner lot with seasonal views of Fountain Lake, the home features Andersen windows throughout most of the main level, a spacious deck for entertaining, and beautiful hardwood floors beneath the carpet in two main-level bedrooms. Major mechanical updates include a new furnace and air conditioner in 2025. The lower level offers brand-new carpet, a classic basement bar the sellers are willing to leave, and a fourth non-conforming bedroom with potential for added equity through the installation of an egress window. Enjoy an exceptional neighborhood setting with three nearby parks, including Edgewater Park just across the road and a neighborhood park featuring an ice skating rink and warming house. Additional features include a storage shed, with the sellers also willing to leave the office furniture, lower-level refrigerator, and garage chest freezer. As an added incentive, the sellers are offering $5,686.37 toward a 2-1 interest rate buydown and will pay the full 2026 property taxes with no proration to the buyer! Impeccably cared for, wonderfully original, and full of the design details that mid-century modern enthusiasts search for, this is the kind of home that simply cannot be recreated.
