Carefully maintained for the last 59 years, this beautiful contemporary, with its low-profile roofline, clean architectural lines, and mature landscaping, offers a wonderful opportunity to seamlessly balance indoor and outdoor living. A recessed front entry leads to a particularly inviting, sunken living room with an elegant, broad masonry fireplace whose expansive hearth doubles as seating, serving as both a focal point and gathering area that not only opens up to the dining room, but out to the pergola as well.
