:: The Good Residence, 1961 :: Architects Grillias, Savage, Alves & Associates :: 63 years under the same ownership and never before on the market :: The Good Residence sits comfortably at the top of a long ascending driveway on a piece of land that was carefully chosen and purchased in 1960 by the Good family, a thoughtful and secluded lot in which they'd soon thereafter build their lifelong family residence. The Good Family dream home was inspired by the iconic Philip Johnson Glass House, with the intention to construct a sharp Mid Century home with a pool and stunning views, encompassed by nature, sky and natural light. The structure is unusually rich in graceful original details such as oversized floor to ceiling windows and unblemished original wooden panelling, closets and built-ins that still feel remarkably untouched. The focal point of the living space is its dropped and centered 360 degree fireplace, a showpiece that beams historic character into the light filled setting. An open dining area is partially separated by a curved brick wall, flanked by a wall of glass that allows seamless City views beyond the lush yard. The primary suite comes with an oversized walk-in wardrobe area and closet, as well as a separate den or office space. Thoughtfully designed for a large family, the kitchen is centered in between the primary bedroom and the properties 3 other bedrooms, each of which are on the other side of the home. Open wall space on both sides of the kitchen allows for expanded visual depth from either side of the space. A large pool and several entertaining spaces are ideal for summer parties, outdoor dining and play time with children and pets. The property and setting are intentionally surrounded by nature and offers privacy from most neighboring houses. Recent upgrades include a replaced sewer line (2019), new PEX water lines, new roof, new water heater, new furnace, new kitchen appliances, original cabinetry restoration, interior and exterior paint, new gas line and more. An incredibly rare showpiece for an Mid Century enthusiast at a very competitive price point.
