Grand Opening. Behind a simple street-level gate, this mid-century home is nestled into the hillside of Upper Rockridge, providing retreat-like privacy while still planted squarely amidst the pleasures of this sought-after neighborhood. Built in 1959, the bright and airy three-bedroom home was designed to encourage engagement with the outdoors, beginning with the terraced entrance, meandering toward the front door under a gracious weeping willow tree, surrounded by hydrangeas, lavender and native plantings, and ending at the spacious brick patio — one of multiple thoughtful spaces to encourage more time spent outside in this easy-living home. Stepping through the front door a striking open floating staircase sets the tone: a finely balanced modern-meets-timeless architectural makeup creates a warm and inviting family home that never goes out of style.
