This house has it all! No notes.

From the listing: “Tucked away on a quiet Laverock cul-de-sac, 1633 Chattin Road makes an unforgettable first impression with its bold Mid-Century Modern architecture. Soaring ceilings, walls of glass, and dramatic scale set this home apart from anything else on the market. A circular driveway winds through the front yard and extends to the attached garage, offering generous parking for residents and guests. A welcoming foyer opens into the main level, with a convenient half bath tucked between the foyer and kitchen. The kitchen offers plenty of cabinet space and adjoins a well appointed utility area. […] Beyond the kitchen, a dining nook offers access to a secondary staircase and leads into a formal dining room. The heart of the home is its spectacular two-story living room: cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, floor-to-ceiling windows, a stone fireplace, and a wraparound second-story balcony that overlooks the space below, while a spiral staircase adds unmistakable architectural presence. A separate bonus room, currently used as an office/den, offers flexibility for work, hobbies, or as a fourth bedroom. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms each have their own full bathroom, including two full bathrooms and two closets in the primary suite. An attached garage provides convenient access and ample storage, and the partially finished basement, with stair access to the side yard, adds even more space for entertaining and relaxation. Outside, a rear patio overlooks a spacious backyard, well suited to outdoor dining and gatherings. A brand-new roof was installed in 2026 offering peace of mind for years to come! […]1633 Chattin Road offers a rare opportunity: a home nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac with striking Mid-Century Modern architecture and generous scale, ready for its next owner to bring fresh updates and make it their own.”
