4800 Byron Place

This is a beautiful, architecturally intact mid-century modern home—built in an era when houses were designed to last, styled in a way that feels strikingly current all over again. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac, this ~one-acre property is a private, tree-filled retreat in the middle of the city. You don’t expect this kind of space, privacy, and style here, and that’s exactly what makes it special. Inside, exposed beams and tongue-and-groove ceilings set the tone throughout, grounding the home in warmth and continuity. The design is cohesive, with updates that respect the original architecture rather than overwrite it. The kitchen is a standout, both historically and functionally. Original, genuine Geneva cabinets from 1955 remain beautifully intact, offering craftsmanship rarely found today. Dual ranges, generous workspace, and modern appliances. The main living spaces are open and light-filled, anchored by a fireplace that adds warmth. Expansive windows draw the outdoors inside. The sunroom, centered around its own fireplace and wrapped in windows, is a true lifestyle space designed for daily use. Bedrooms are spacious, with custom built-ins. The 2nd bedroom features a Murphy bed that easily converts between sleeping space and a fully functional desk. Bathrooms are bold and confident, balancing pattern and restraint in a way that feels elevated and intentional. A covered deck just off the living area extends the home outward for everyday living. Beyond it, the property opens into a private outdoor retreat featuring a heated concrete pool with sunning deck, two separate fire pit areas, and an outdoor kitchen beneath a pergola. Additional highlights include a detached studio with mini-split for creative pursuits. Also a separate workshop with updated electrical, its own mini-split, and a basement that doubles as a storm shelter. This home stands on the strength of its design, craftsmanship, and setting. A mid-century modern retreat, hidden in plain sight
