Best of the Week

It’s been a good week mid-century modern enthusiasts!

 

This week we are thrilled to bring you a variety of mid-century, contemporary, and destination homes. We would like to start with the grandeur of 161 Hickory Kingdom before taking you to the lakeside retreat of 153 Lake Shore. The next 2 homes on our tour features the best of suburbia with stunning finishes that never compromise on character. Last, but certainly not least, we bring you to 101 Palmer; a diamond in the rough that needs a little tender love and care to restore it’s mid-century flare.

 

We hope you have enjoyed joining us on our real estate roller coaster ride this past year. From classic mid century homes to horse farms and estates we’ve seen an expanse of architectural beauties!
