Smartly updated Brentwood modern seeks $2.4M

Here’s your first chance to buy this three-bedroom home in Brentwood in almost 50 years. Built in 1961, the modern residence last sold in 1968 for a mere $57,500.

The 2,292-square-foot house looks like it’s been updated a bit over the years, but it’s got plenty of midcentury style, with an open floor plan, vaulted and beamed ceilings, walls of glass, and elegant wood floors.

The airy living space features an array of built-ins and a freestanding fireplace. It flows into an updated kitchen with contemporary appliances, a large center island, and skylights overhead.

Meanwhile, the roomy master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and an attached office space.

Sitting on a 6,771-square-foot lot, the house sits on top of a two-car garage and is flanked by walls of vegetation. Multiple rooms offer direct access to a wraparound outdoor space with plenty of room for seating and a barbecue area.

Asking price is $2.399 million.
