Built in 1958, the five-bedroom, 2,214-square-foot home was designed by architect Karl Kolbeck.
"My client is the second owner of this home, which has been completely renovated with mid-century modern details," said Judy Olvera, listing agent for Windermere Diablo Real Estate." It offers spectacular views of Mount Diablo. It sits on 1.5 acres off a private lane with direct views of the mountain. It's incredible."
The property was last sold in 2012 for $855,000. With less than a week on the market, this chic corner property is already waiting to be sold.
"They spared no expense in redecorating the house," notes Olvera." The living room is fully glazed so you can see the spectacular views; it also has a sleek mid-century look."
The owners have updated the roof, plumbing and electrical system, she says. In addition, they have added double-glazed windows and a tankless water heater.
In keeping with the mid-century design, this bright and airy home has clean lines, an open floor plan and floor-to-ceiling windows.
Original elements abound throughout the home - a slate entrance with atrium, wood details, built-in cabinetry and bespoke window treatments.
"The solid wood doors, trim and cabinetry are all original," says Olvera." The trellis structure, part of the mid-century modern design, is also original. There are also skylights throughout the house."
The kitchen has been recently updated to include "custom cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops and Miele appliances with wood cabinet faces and a Heath tile backsplash," according to the listing.
The laundry room has concrete countertops and a floating bench.
One of the main suites has an updated bathroom, a spacious walk-in closet, and access to the outdoors.
One of the other four bedrooms has custom solid walnut furniture and could be used as a home office. A nearby bathroom has also been renovated with double sinks, a soaking tub/shower combination and rolling shower doors.
The beautifully landscaped lot, which includes a covered parking area, offers an open space where a children's play structure could be built.
"There is an outdoor kitchen in the backyard that is designed for entertaining," Olvera said." I think the next buyer will be someone who really appreciates mid-century architecture and design."
