MID-CENTURY MODERN MARVEL IN THE CITY

Built in 1954, this recently rejuvenated mid-century modern home stands as a testament to the timeless elegance of its era. Situated nearby "El Parquecito de Baldrich", a green oasis in the center of the town with mature trees, a playground, tennis courts and a football field... a mere 250 feet from your front door!

The exterior gives off a cool vintage vibe, with clean lines, angular shapes, and asymmetrical profiles. A sloping roof, characteristic of mid-century architecture, extends graciously over the structure, emphasizing its horizontal orientation. The original façade with native “bechara” stone details, wide-open floorplan and terrazzo floors were faithfully preserved, showcasing the authenticity of the restoration.

Inside, full-glass awning windows -a hallmark of mid-century design- radiate a sunny feel that completely draws you in. The master bedroom, with its 11-foot-high ceilings, clerestory windows and glass doors that open onto a side patio, exemplifies the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. High ceilings throughout, as well as brand new AC units, make the home breezy and cool year-round.

The color palette is a spectrum of muted earth tones and bold dark accents, creating a visually striking atmosphere characteristic of the mid-century modern style. In the kitchen, the aesthetic continues with sleek earth-toned cabinetry, brass fixtures, and a commitment to simplicity. The appliances, brand new and modern in functionality, maintain the authentic design style. Another funky detail, off the kitchen is a matching built-in dry bar that invites for afternoon martinis, 1950's style!

This masterfully restored mid-century modern house stands as a living tribute to an iconic architectural era, where the past seamlessly converges with the present to create a home that is both a functional dwelling and a work of art.
