An architectural dream, this extraordinary Mid-Century Modern residence designed by Stewart Penn is one of the finest examples of the era you'll find. Defined by sleek, clean lines, a geometric L-shaped footprint, clerestory windows, pocket doors, and timeless design, this home is a one of a kind in our area.
Offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and one-level living, the thoughtfully designed floor plan features two spacious living areas, a formal dining room, and a sunny breakfast nook—all while staying true to the home's original vision.
Walls of glass create a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, opening to a vibrant private courtyard, while the home's integration into the natural landscape makes every space feel connected to its surroundings. Step onto the expansive back deck to enjoy peaceful views, birdsong, and the charming sound of church bells in the distance.
Thoughtful updates have enhanced the home without sacrificing its character. Some updates include new roof in 2025, New deck in 2024, Fresh paint 2025, and extensive crawlspace work including replacing cast iron piping below. Warm wood accents, vibrant retro-inspired colors, authentic Mid-Century fixtures, and clean architectural lines preserve the style that makes this home so special.
Surrounded by professionally landscaped grounds by landscape architect Doan Ogden and located in one of Morganton's most prestigious neighborhoods, this is more than a home—it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history.
