This section of Ninth Avenue is a “non-cut through” quiet street which is far enough from Bethany Home or 7th Ave to be settled and quiet yet close to necessary amenities.
This mid-century modern home is nicely updated and improved to meet and exceed most construction standards and is immediately ready for a new owner to move in and live without needing any new updating or improvements.
Kitchen, baths and laundry room have been recently remodeled (2010) with new appliances, new lighting and new interior finishes.
The floor plan has been “opened” to be more space flowing. The reconfigured plan features a beautiful and spectacular sunroom which views a very well designed rear yard with patios and swimming pool.
This Sunroom can be used as an expansion of the living room or it can be used as an extension of the main office. It could also function nicely as an artist’s studio. The present owner has used it for an architect’s office.
The hardwood floors are genuine tongue and groove 3/4” maple with a natural light finish. There is 975 sq. ft. of Maple flooring, most of which is in the major spaces like the living room, sunroom, office and hallway.
