A true architectural masterpiece, the Arthur Beckwith House, designed in 1960 by award-winning architect, William Kessler. Tucked away on a quiet tree-lined street, the home sits on one acre with a large rear deck overlooking the original lily pond, 30,000-gallon pool & pool house with half bath. This home is quite simply the epitome of Mid-Century perfection. The signature sawtooth roof houses banks of floor-to-ceiling windows that offer incredible natural light and breathtaking views from every room. Original oversized stainless steel wood burning fireplace flanked by imported Norwegian black granite. Primary suite has walk-in closet & lux bath with double sinks, tub, separate shower & commode room. Lower level has cedar closet & In-Law quarters with full bath & 6th bedroom. The current owners have lovingly restored many of the original elements, including the original walnut kitchen, built-in library cabinets & wet bar, bathroom vanities, original tile & light fixtures. Other updates include 2020 roof with all new skylights. 2019 interior paint, carpet & polished concrete floor in the lower level. 2018 whole house generator, buried power lines, plumbing, 2016 driveway, 2013 furnaces (2) & water heater. Kessler's design for the Beckwith House was recognized as one of the "Record Houses" of 1961 by Architectural Record magazine, and it was featured in Home and Garden magazine in the early 1990’s.
