5947 Highland Hills Drive is an authentic midcentury modern home that was designed and built by an architect for his family in 1966. The main entry to the house sits at street level accessed by a wide bridge. The corridor ceilings on the main floor are over 9 feet with bedrooms and public spaces vaulting even higher. The upstairs kitchen, 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms have all been tastefully updated, including glass shower and soaking tub in the master bath. The updated kitchen and living room still have the original parquet flooring. All carpeting is new, interior walls and trim have been freshly painted or touched up, and exterior doors and trim have been freshly painted. The bottom floor has been completely renovated with a full bath, kitchen, living space and dedicated mini split heating and cooling. The space includes a private entry facing the creek with a spacious patio. An internal lockable door allows the space to be used as part of the home or closed to create a separate apartment. The sloping drive circles under the bridge and provides access to three carports and a large shop/she shed with wall mounted AC unit. The home backs up to a beautiful creek and green space with custom rock steps from the patio to creek​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​​ level.
