About this property

Per the original newspaper ad in 1959, The Fiesta was "probably the utmost in originality." Nearly seventy years later this mid century modern atomic ranch still carries every bit of it, starting with the circular breeze block screen that makes its case before you ever reach the front door. This house still has the features the era is loved for, and it still has them where they belong. Clerestory windows carry daylight across the living room all afternoon. The ceiling vaults to an exposed beam. Custom wall units flank a floor-to-ceiling painted brick fireplace set on a raised terrazzo hearth. Sputnik and globe fixtures hang where they were meant to hang, a wood slat divider screens the hall without closing it off, and the hardwood floors have been refinished throughout. The kitchen was reworked to hold those same clean lines rather than fight them, with flat-panel cabinetry, butcher block counters, a turquoise tile backsplash, a wall oven and cooktop, and a peninsula with seating under a pair of globe pendants. It opens straight into a sixteen by thirteen office and sitting room, a genuinely useful flex space with wall-mounted shelving and its own door out to the patio. Three bedrooms sit together on the main level, all with hardwood underfoot. The primary has a full wall of closets and a renovated private bath with a walk-in shower, a skylight, a floating wood vanity, and a heated towel bar. The hall bath goes the other direction on purpose, pairing blue tile and a navy mosaic floor with a clean modern vanity. Downstairs, a thirty-five by twenty-five recreation room carries new flooring, recessed lighting, and built-in shelving, with a separate storage room and the laundry alongside it. Out back, the covered patio repeats the breeze block screen from the front entry, strung with cafe lights over concrete and framed by privacy fencing and ornamental grasses. The level lot runs just over a third of an acre, fenced and backing to mature woods, with an established apiary along the rear edge. A two car attached garage sits off a wide driveway. The mature weeping willow in the front yard is one of a kind, and it is not something a new build can offer you at any price. The subdivision pool is a short walk away and hosts community events through the summer. The sellers have also replaced the main stack and the sewer lateral, which now carries a new pipe liner, along with the driveway and walkway, the garage door, and the front door.
