Best of the Week
Welcome back, home trendsetters! We didn’t spot any mid-century modern homes on the market this week, but don’t worry, we found something equally exciting! 51 Granite Court intrigued us for all the right reasons. It doesn’t fit any specific architectural style, and that’s precisely why it caught our eye. Maybe it’s the captivating art pieces, or maybe the unique interior elements like the grand fireplace, but what we do know is that its worth more than a mere glance. So, mid-century modern devotees, it’s time to broaden your horizons! As the listing rightly puts it, “This exceptional home must be seen to feel its gravitas!”
