Every once in a while a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity will present itself. The question always is; “Will you be ready to jump on it?”
Originally designed and built for Carter Sparks’ personal residence, 4500 Rutgers Way is now live on the market and looking for the right buyer to appreciate and maintain a piece of architectural history. The three bed, two bath, 1,776 sqft home sits on nearly a quarter acre just off Winding Way.
The Streng Bros. built ‘Classic’ model is far from ordinary, and includes a number of custom finishes that Carter Sparks chose specifically for his family home. The entry features an elevated catwalk balanced on exposed beams. You’ll find expansive Clerestory windows stretching along the rear wall and facing into a tranquil bamboo garden. Warm and rich redwood paneling adorns interior walls leading you to the cozy master suite.
The current owner, a mid century modern enthusiast, has spent his time restoring some of the classic finishes that were modified during the later part of of the 20th century and bringing some modern, high-end finishes to the property. The bathrooms have been remodeled with stylish high-end quality materials such as Heath tile backsplashes and a terrazzo-tiled dual headed shower.
The Sparks House' is looking for its new owners that will love and preserve this architectural gem. Will it be you?
No garage? no problem. It includes a spacious storage room with indoor laundry, tankless water heater, whole house water filter and exterior utility room. The backyard is a peaceful oasis with a Trex deck, mature landscaping, built-in BBQ, and various fruit trees such as grapefruit, lemon & persimmon. The original boulder water feature nestled in the black bamboo has been converted to a tranquil zen garden.
