Original owners; one-of-a-kind! This classic mid century modern custom contemporary was designed for the late Ruth & Tony Bent by Ruth's brother, Seattle architect Frederick Farmer, as a wedding present. Its pleasing & soul-satisfying juxtaposition of symmetry & asymmetry make this a rare opportunity to live in a functional, enduring MCM work of art. West Coast Redwood provides warm & natural atmosphere and a low-maintenance, rustic interior & exterior. Native flagstone pier screens living room from the street, creating areas of high visual interest inside & out. Dramatic 14' windows line exterior wall to the west. Glowing redwood ceilings & most interior walls. Red quarry tile paves the center hall & DR. Burnished cement terrazzo floors in living room & family room have held up beautifully over 60 years. Ergonomically efficient galley kitchen is open to DR & Fam Rm. Generous 105 x 191 lot is ideally located directly across from the Gaunt Park playing fields & public pool. A must-see!
