Those of us who love design and architecture know the difference between a contemporarystructurebuilt cheap for profit and an intentional home created for the enhancement of the inhabitants. This house is well proportioned, intelligently drafted and crafted, and simple in its beautiful function. I love being impressed when it comes to home. This gem has sat on that list for a long while-homes that get it right when it comes to small lots, low maintenance, and city living. Maximizing livabilitywithin a reasonable footprint, this house could be a course.And the space does all the teaching, no words needed. But in case you want a few details, here are some from my friend and colleague who also loves this house. "Right in the center of it all, yet quietly tucked into its own rhythm, this modern retreat delivers clean lines, thoughtful design, and effortless living. Built in 2014, the home still feels new-roof, systems, and appliances all in excellent condition-offering peace of mind wrapped in polished style.Inside, tall ceilings (9' throughout) and an airy open-concept main floor create a sense of volume and light that feels both expansive and inviting. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow seamlessly together -- anchored by custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and high-end finishes that elevate everyday living. A 12-foot sliding glass door stretches across the back wall, blurring the line between indoors and out and filling the space with natural light.Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms provide privacy and comfort. The primary suite feels intentional and refined, while a convenient half bath on the main floor makes hosting easy.Xeriscaped landscaping keeps maintenance minimal and weekends wide open. A one-car garage offers rare extra parking for this ultra-central location.Modern. Connected. Move-in ready.This is an oasis in the city-designed for living well." -- Jennifer Hadfield And in case you are wondering if a move is necessary, a new lifeready here atthis stable structure, there is indeed a fireplace to keep you warm when modernism feels ready for the heat.
