On a first pass by this house, you might not notice the butterfly within the cacoon – the huge south-facing window, the simple lines, the Asian-inspired landscaping on an over-sized corner lot.  The house has been left  alone a bit too long and isn’t sparkling and singing as it should – not yet, anyway.  When Emily & Brent stepped inside this time-warp, they knew it was their responsibility (read pleasure)  to both restore and preserve this home to its, “original midcentury glory”, as Emily so eloquently stated.

This home features two fireplaces, a totally retro kitchen, 3 huge sliders along the back of the house going out to a great, private, covered patio with five original oriental lanterns, and…sshhhhh, completely lovely hardwoods under the dark shag carpet.  Don’t forget the amazing built-in bar in the basement for throw-back parties.   Listed for $279,900, Emily & Brent found a house they can’t wait to transform into their own groovy home base.
