Ahead of its Time

A comfortable home with a touch of nostalgia, this preserved mid-century modern residence is a step ahead of its time.

Built in 1949, the home was commissioned by the Ira Van Tuyls family and has been home to just two families.

“The 4014-square-foot home has been lovingly maintained through the years,” says Shelley McGolden, a Realtor with eXp Realty. “The current owners have preserved the integrity of the mid-century home and diligently maintained the home’s character."

Located on the East Side, this home at 3119 E. Powell Ave. is surrounded by shade trees and fit with an original front door and outdoor fireplace. The corner lot is enclosed with wrought iron fencing with cedar panels installed for privacy.

Inside, the large living room features original stacked crown molding and a gas log fireplace. The updated kitchen opens into the living room and includes a walk-in pantry, high-end flat top electric range with a pop-up vent, stainless refrigerator, and dishwasher. The home’s three bathrooms have original pristine tilework and fixtures.

The master bedroom is spacious and features a bath with built-in storage. The two-car garage is accessed through the large laundry room.

The basement has new tile flooring in the mid-century style highlighting a fun shuffleboard pattern, along with a gas log fireplace and a separate storage area with space for a workbench.
