On a generous quarter-acre-plus lot in Del Cerro, this thoughtfully upgraded mid-century modern residence balances 1960s character with contemporary ease. A dramatic two-story vaulted entry introduces a floating glass-and-wood staircase and restored 1965 Palm Springs double doors, setting a crisp vintage-meets-modern tone. The recently remodeled kitchen pairs white shaker cabinetry with newer appliances and flows into a bright, airy layout with luxury vinyl wide-plank flooring and expansive windows. In the family room, a gas fireplace anchors relaxed evenings, while refreshed bathrooms keep the look cohesive throughout. Outside, a resort-style backyard centers on a sparkling pool, framed by low-maintenance turf, fruit trees, raised garden beds, and a fire pit. A covered patio and spacious side yard expand the outdoor living options, supported by a new concrete driveway, paid-for solar, a new roof, tankless water heater, some dual-paned windows, and a 2-car garage with built-in storage.
