The exterior of this north-facing home features a relatively recently installed low-water using front yard, consisting of new, small plantings and freshly laid mulch.

Living room 

Dining and living room 

Inside, the living and dining rooms sit towards the rear of the home, while the kitchen lays at the front while all three bedrooms are grouped along the west side of the home. The living room provides a view to the large grassy backyard through mullioned window panes. Missing is the signature modernist fireplace, as this home was one of a handful throughout the neighborhood that was built without one. The ceilings have been drywalled over and can lighting added, while dark laminate floors line the room.

Kitchen 

Kitchen 

The galley kitchen sits towards the front of the home, and features newer raised panel cabinetry, granite counters and mosaic tile backsplashes. A mix of black and white appliances fill the room, and a vintage ranch-house style door provides access to the service porch and garage beyond.

The backyard is large, open and grassy, with a small vegetable garden and thick perimeter plantings. A covered patio sits off the living room along with a small concrete patio, while a sandy play area sits adjacent to the patio.
