1609 NW 38th Street

Architecturally striking 1950s mid-century modern home located on one of Putnam Heights’ iconic tree-lined boulevard streets. Thoughtfully updated atheistically and mechanically while preserving its original character. Think warm organic-modern design. The flexible floor plan includes a dramatic primary suite + hangout space that originally served as a yoga studio + industrial style spiral staircase leading to a one-of-a-kind turret space once used as a meditation room and now ideal as a quiet hideout: workspace, reading room, or creative retreat. Extensive updates include perfectly curated color schemes and shapes in the remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, quarter sawn oak flooring, designer lighting, Kolbe Architectural windows, custom cabinetry, updated plumbing, bifurcated/tankless water heater system, HVAC updates, and total roof and gutter replacement in 2025. Outdoor spaces are equally special with native pollinator gardens, mature trees, pergolas, custom dusk-to-dawn landscape lighting, water features, walking paths, irrigation system, and multiple entertaining areas that create a private retreat atmosphere. Additional features include authentic Herman Miller Nelson Bubble lighting, original built-ins, storm shelter, designer finishes throughout, and a beautifully restored blend of historic and modern elements. A rare opportunity to own one of the city’s most distinctive mid-century homes in historic Putnam Heights.
