About this home
DISTINCTIVE 1953, 3276 SQ FT, 5 BR, MID-CENTURY COLONIAL IN WINDMILL POINTE: Step into this remarkably well-preserved example of postwar American architecture. This distinctive brick Colonial combines Georgian-inspired architecture with the materials, craftsmanship, and livability of the mid-century era. The home’s exceptional period character begins with the original GENEVA STEEL KITCHEN, with porcelain-coated cabinets, authentic boomerang countertops, and its classic black-and-white checkerboard floor. The 3 full bathrooms are equally special, with PRISTINE VITROLITE GLASS TILE walls. Throughout the home, ORIGINAL PELLA CASEMENT WINDOWS WITH INTEGRATED PULL DOWN SCREENS, provide abundant natural light while preserving an increasingly rare piece of 1950s craftsmanship. Beautiful wood floors, crown molding, and built-ins, reinforce the home's traditional character. Elevated front and rear balconies, provide distinctive outdoor spaces for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The bright FLORIDA ROOM offers another inviting retreat with views of the secluded backyard. The dedicated office features substantial built-in bookshelves and an integrated desk, while the generously sized bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility for family, guests, or additional workspace. THE 1749 SQ FT finished basement adds high ceilings, built-in bar, glass-block windows, an additional 1/2 bath, and abundant storage. Major infrastructure has been thoughtfully updated, including a NEW ROOF, ELECTRICAL, HI-EFF FURNACE, CENTRAL AIR, AND COPPER PLUMBING, providing modern comfort while preserving the home's original character. THE RESULT IS A RARE COMBINATION: a substantial traditional home with unusually intact 1950s design, thoughtfully maintained and ready for its next owner. For buyers who appreciate architecture, craftsmanship, and authentic period character, 821 Pemberton offers something nearly impossible to find: A GENUINE MID-CENTURY HOME THAT HAS NOT BEEN STRIPPED OF ITS IDENTITY.
