The bright bedrooms upstairs, one of which has a nook with closets nearly to the ceiling, share a skylit bath. The lower level has a carpeted rec room with built-ins in one nook, another full bath, and a separate laundry room.

Fireplace- and Window-Walls in Hollin Hills

Over in Hollin Hills, this house is another exemplar of mid-century modern architecture.

The living area has a brick fireplace wall adjacent to a wall of windows with sliding glass doors out to a deck that spans the length of the room. Both bedrooms on this level have nearly floor-to-ceiling windows, and the wood-paneled staircase has an oversized window with a display ledge beneath. The carpeted, at-grade lower level has another pair of bedrooms and a rec room with a brick fireplace wall adjacent to a wall of stacked windows and access to a covered patio. The backyard has a stone pond, terraced garden areas, and a shed.
