This Charming Mid-Century
I would go out tonight, but this house
has wrapped me in its heart.
A 1953 Mid-Century Modest—
handsome, sincere, and full of light.
It stands quietly in Highland Park,
where the streets hum softly,
and the trees lean in like old friends.
Inside, sunlight spills across
freshly refinished oak floors—
a nod to timeless design,
where form follows feeling.
The kitchen? A study in
restraint and grace:
solid surface counters,
sleek lines, and steel
that shines—but never shouts.
To the rear, a bright addition
stretches out like a well-timed sigh—
perfect for records and red wine,
or letting the quiet in.
Slide open the glass,
step out to a private deck,
where thoughts go to rest
and nothing is hurried.
The lower level, recently redone
and full of space,
offers more than shelter:
room to think at the end of the day,
a place for games to play,
a room to wash the past away.
New windows. New walls.
They pamper life’s complexity,
with machines that cool
when the world grows cruel,
and machines that warm
through winter's beautiful storms.
And should a double-decker bus come
let it take you somewhere good—
parks, cafés, trails, a vintage theater...
or wherever your better days begin.
Because sometimes, the loveliest things
are not the loudest on the street,
but the ones that simply stay.
This charming home awaits your arrival.
Come out and find the one that you love—
and who loves you.
