This is the setting you have been searching for! This 1954 Mid-Century Modern design sits atop a 5,479 square foot lot at the top of Acacia Avenue.The panoramic view reaches out over rooftops and treetops to Mt Helix beyond. You will be greeted by hand laid rock walls framing the garden foliage and providing a warm welcome to this tranquil retreat. A shady, rock-lined garden path connects the front and back yards providing plenty of outdoor space to enjoy year round. The alley access at the rear of the property provides spacious off street parking. Once inside you will be captivated by the dramatic wood and glass design elements thatthe mid-century modernera is famous for. The original picture windows bring the outdoors inside along with the sunsets.The garden view is the focal point of the expansive living room which also overlooks the patio and palms beyond. The kitchen offers abundant cabinets, gas range, dishwasher, and sunny window above the sink. You will discover three bedrooms on the main level and one bonus bedroom on the lower level with its own access to the backyard and rear parking. The original hardwood floors are well-traveled and can be found in most of the rooms throughout.
