About this home
First time on the market in 30 years. A true mid-century original: intact, unapologetic, and increasingly rare. Set quietly on Van Houten, a true gem of a street, this is the kind of MCM that almost never comes to market: not reimagined, not stripped down, but preserved in all the right ways. New roof, newer gutters, fresh paint and a garage that is ready for your dream office or living space conversion. Original red Formica countertops, warm wood trim, built-in cabinetry, sliding closet doors, and groovy heating covers are all still here, authentic details that define the era and are nearly impossible to replicate. Clean lines, giant picture windows, a versatile layout, and beautifully maintained hardwood floors ground the home in that effortless mid-century sensibility. The way it lives is just as compelling. Light moves easily through the spaces, settling into a charming kitchen nook and carrying throughout the home. The lower level adds real, usable square footage, flexible and functional without compromise. Step outside and the exterior feels like a private woodland with redwoods, fruit trees, blueberry bushes, an olive grove, and layered plantings cultivated over decades. The property has been intentionally planted with natives and perennials, to be low maintenance while still maintaining maximum beauty and bounty. The space is quiet, secluded, and deeply personal. Positioned between St Johns and Kenton, with easy bike and transit access to both, plus nearby access to both McCoy and Northgate parks, this is a truly special neighborhood. This is more than location, it’s a community. Properties like this don’t come around often. And when they do, they rarely look and live like this. [Home Energy Score = 5.
