About this Property
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Now available for $829,900, this remarkable home has been significantly reduced from its original price of $895,900, presenting an exceptional opportunity to own a true architectural treasure. Nestled on a spacious 0.31-acre lot, this Glenn Q. Johnson, 1954 Birdcage House remains the most authentically preserved of its kind. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, it retains its original charm, featuring cedar wood-paneled walls and ceilings, and terrazzo flooring on the lower level. The aluminum screen frames, accordion-style aluminum and glass doors, and over 1,000 square feet of screened living space across two levels all contribute to the home’s distinctive mid-century character. Storage was thoughtfully integrated into the design, with elevated cabinetry and closets—compensating for the absence of an attic—while the roof boasts solid white cedar tongue-and-groove planks. Over the years, thoughtful upgrades have been undertaken to maintain architectural integrity, including a custom-milled roof and fascia replacement, reinforced steel tube roof supports, handcrafted white oak stairway and landing. Among its standout features is the converted two-car garage, a rare addition among Birdcage Houses, transformed from a north-facing carport in 1997 to a full garage opening to the south. In 1998, a picturesque swimming pool with waterfall and fish pond was introduced, complemented by decking, planters, and lush landscaping. From the arial views, the site looks like a forested landscape. Central air was discreetly installed on the second floor in 2002, with ductwork seamlessly concealed behind custom-milled clear cedar, ensuring harmony with the home’s original materials. The first-floor bedroom received a ductless mini-split air system in 2015, replacing an earlier wall unit. Adding to its charm, a vibrant wooden “catwalk” now bridges the east and west second-story screened porches, enhancing both form and function for your balanced little four legged friends. Enveloped by thriving plant life and equipped with a sprinkler system, this is the most heavily wooded Birdcage property, offering peaceful views of a small natural lake to the west.
