A small sunporch sits off the living room, accessing the backyard which is taken up with a large in-ground diving pool. A small patch of turf sits between the sunporch and the pool, and contrary to most pool design the pool’s deep end sits adjacent to the home while the shallow end is located at the furthers point way from the home. The detached two-car garage occupies the remainder of the backyard and is accessed via an alleyway.

The home is move-in ready offers great potential to enjoy as-is or slowly restore or renovate over the years. Either way, it’s a great example of Palmer & Krisel midcentury modern at its best.
