A Mid-Century Haven with Space to Entertain and Create Relish in game-day get-togethers, holiday festivities, and everyday indulgences in this Elm Heights oasis. With abundant, light-filled living spaces made for gatherings, this sprawling 4,416 sqft home features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and an airy open floor plan. Curl up by the fireplace in the den surrounded by built-in bookcases and host parties in the dining room where you can close the kitchen’s pass-through to separate the bustle of the catering crew from the event space. If you choose, you can leverage the flexibility of this room by removing the wall to the kitchen to transform it into an extension of the panoramic living room—all the way to the scenic backyard. Embrace the possibilities of the expansive walkout basement with a separate entrance that can serve as a rental or guest suite. It features its own bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, large open area, and a spacious utility or storage room.
