About the Listing 4420 - 39337
A rare L. Morgan Yost designed mid-century modern home beautifully positioned on 3.5 wooded acres with mature trees, a winding creek, a garage sized shed and exceptional privacy. Built with enduring cement and brick construction, the residence embraces its natural setting through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows on both levels, filling the interiors with light and tranquil views. Vaulted ceilings, clean architectural lines, and handsome fireplaces in both the living room and family room give the home a warm yet distinctive modernist character. Original built-ins in every bedroom add timeless craftsmanship and practical storage, while the primary suite includes a gracious dressing room. The generous kitchen and foyer are finished with handsome large-scale 1' x 2' porcelain tile and complemented by an all-stainless suite of LG appliances, oversized windows, and a spacious eating area designed for everyday living and casual entertaining. A balcony spanning the length of the living and dining rooms extends the home's living space outdoors and overlooks the surrounding acreage. The dramatic glass, wooded backdrop, and creek setting create a peaceful retreat while preserving the openness that defines classic mid-century design. Additional features include skylights, an attached oversized two-car garage, ample storage, two hot water heaters, and a recreation room ideal for hobbies and crafts. The lower level also includes a wet bar, bedroom, and full bath, offering comfortable accommodations for guests. Recent improvements include a new septic system, large-scale porcelain tile in the kitchen, hallway, dressing room, and primary bath, new main-level carpeting, designer light fixtures, a GE washer and dryer, and a Culligan water softener and filter, all completed in 2022. A York furnace was installed in 2023, and the primary shower was remodeled in 2025. Original details remain throughout, including the striking staircase, with removable safety panels for children and pets. With its architectural pedigree, substantial construction, flexible living spaces, and serene acreage, this distinctive home offers design integrity, comfort, and privacy-equally appealing as a full-time residence, remote-work retreat, or country getaway.
