Once upon a time, in 1963, a man loved his wife so deeply he built her dream home.She loved music, so he tucked a record player into the wall—designed to fold away when not in use, preserving both sound and space. She loved to bake, so he installed a NuTone Food Center, allowing her to effortlessly switch from mixer to blender with a simple click into the under-counter motor—an elegant nod to mid-century innovation.She loved nature, so he chose a quiet lot at the end of the road, surrounded by trees. He brought the outdoors in with open-beam wood ceilings, still intact today, and oversized windows and sliding glass doors that fill the home with natural light. Both sliders open to a spacious wraparound deck—perfect for taking in the peaceful setting.Thoughtfully designed for both beauty and function, the main-level bathroom was expanded to include dual sinks and a built-in sit-down vanity. And because life in Mapleton in the 1960s meant preparing for winter power outages, he built fireplaces on both levels. Each features a flush hearth, inviting you to gather close and stay warm on quiet evenings. Downstairs, the daylight basement continues the connection to the outdoors, with two large sliding doors offering even more immediate access to the surrounding landscape.A home built with intention, care, and love—ready for its next chapter.
