Presenting a fine example of vintage early post modernist architecture in a classic lifestyle community on Van Ness. This 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom shingle-style modernist residence in a resort-like community strikes the perfect balance between quiet retreat, hospitality, and larger-than-expected family home. Located in the lush Van Ness Casitas neighborhood, this large freestanding unit is located in the most beautiful section of the community, on a circular drive with dramatic greenery. Community has been painstakingly and meticulously maintained for decades and will soon feature a private entry gate for all visitors. Plenty of guest parking, three lovely community pools, and a tennis court. The exterior is sheathed in handsome aged wood. The grounds include a private fenced entry, 2-car garage, front entry courtyard with private office access, a back covered patio, and large rear courtyard. Mature trees abound and lend a tree house'' effect to the two second floor bedrooms. The tasteful interior is a wonderful study in the indoor-outdoor aesthetic that the postmodernist movement retained from the MCM era: Floor to ceiling windows provide lots of natural light. Rear patio is a visual extension of the main living room area and lends a bright, spacious air to the space. A open, flexible floor plan. Tons of retro charm you won't want to change much! Bullard HS area schools. Convenient to Fig Garden Village and Oso de Oro Park. Five-minute walk to Annex Kitchen and Mochuelo. And valley hospitals.Remember how cool your grandparents' house was? This is it.
