With a quintessentially modest front, this 1958 Broadview home opens to huge living spaces, a massive deck w/territorial views, and rocks its midcentury vibe from start to finish.

Original wood cabinetry has been lovingly restored to gleaming perfection throughout this immaculate MCM home.

Some fun surprises await in the lower level, but for now let's head into the living room...

Built-in shelving and expanses of pristine white walls offer abundant opportunity for displaying art, photos, and beautiful things.

We'll get to that magnificent deck in a moment, but for now let's take in the beauty of the original fireplace wall.

Each piece of furniture in this photo is gracious in scale. In classic MCM style, this room lives large when called upon, without ever losing its alluring sense of coziness.

The gas fireplace delivers warmth and ambiance at the click of a button.

I'm told 12 people have dined together around this table, and I believe it! Clearly this home has hosted a gathering or two in its day. If walls could talk!

The outlook changes daily this time of year, as you take in the blazing beauty of stunning fall colors. As leaves drop, your territorial water and mountain views start to open up, adding to the year-round expanse of sky. Just to our left is the door to the huge deck---let's take a quick peek outside...

Stunning Ipe planks in a cheeky parquet pattern cover solid-surface decking with drainage for water-proof covering to the secure/enclosed carport below. A west-facing outlook lets you soak in every last drop of sunshine whether the days are short or long.

A word that frequently pops to mind as you take in this home is, "substantial." From the deck to the massive overhanging eaves, to the beefy cedar siding (our inspector said he's never seen a beveled detail quite like it) and everything in between. A home built to an exacting standard using quality materials; and very well loved and maintained by its stewards over the years.

You can throw down a serious meal in this kitchen...

Spacious, efficient, and beautiful. White quartz counters contrast nicely with the beautifully-restored original kitchen cabinets.

Wolf, Sub-Zero, Fisher & Paykel, & Zephyr appliances elevate your culinary game.

A previously under-utilized space behind the kitchen was transformed into this fantastic walk-in pantry a few years back, with a very skilled craftsman hired to build these custom cabinets designed to match those in the kitchen. A frosted-glass side door just behind us offers soft all-day light to this delightful space.

We'll get back to the main floor in a moment, but there's too much goodness in this daylight lower level to wait any longer. Turning right at the base of the stairs we enter this fantastic family room which opens to the enclosed lower yard.

A clever custom awning provides additional cover for the patio.

Another gas fireplace delivers instant warmth. This is one of TWO large hang-out spaces down here! If we were to take a left at the base of the stairs, we would step into the Vinyl Lounge...

I mean, so good, right?! That's a window on the far wall, and those are glass-block "clerestories" embedded in the concrete wall on the right.

The door to the left leads to the family room, the stairs, and also circles around to the doorway just visible here on the right. There is a 4th non-conforming bedroom, 3/4 bath, laundry, and a TON of additional space just to the right of the doorway.

Back on the main floor we've got this king-sized primary bedroom with 3/4 bath, plus two additional bedrooms and full bath.

The second main-floor bedroom is bright and spacious, and features a built-in desk area.

Currently used as an office, the 3rd main-floor bedroom is also gracious in size and receives nice natural light.

Original Naugahyde counter, backsplash, and classic MCM light detail in the main floor full bath.

A sliding gate just to our left secures the dry/covered 2-car parking from the alley. Note the heat-pump tucked underneath...high efficiency heating and A/C. So many layers of goodness to discover here...come explore for yourself!

With a quintessentially modest front, this 1958 Broadview home opens to huge living spaces, a massive deck w/territorial views, and rocks its midcentury vibe from start to finish. Built-in shelving + expanses of pristine white walls = abundant opportunity for displaying art, photos, and beautiful things. Original MCM details abound--lovingly-preserved. Stunning Ipe planks cover solid-surface decking off the main floor, for waterproof covering to the secure/enclosed 2-car carport below. West-facing outlook lets you soak in every last drop of sunshine from expansive skies (it's called Broadview for a reason!) TWO very large hang-out spaces (plus!) in the daylight lower level make this a home that lives well for a wide array of lifestyles.
