Newly renovated in 2024 this architectural gem in the desired amenity-rich community
of Varsity is now ready for you to move in. Perched on a large 9,687 sqft (.22 ac) lot,
with a SW back yard, in a quiet cul-de-sac, and backing onto the community’s
expansive tree lined walking paths. The design forward floor plan includes 3,000 sqft of
total living space. With the addition of a large and functional mudroom connecting the
main floor to the large garage, this home functions like a bungalow with all principal
rooms located on the main floor level while 3 bedrooms in the lower level provide
versatility for a mature family, the empty nester, or expanding family alike.
In collaboration with McDowell Design, Laratta Homes has preserved and transformed
this mid-century modern classic into a functional and timeless home to complement
your contemporary lifestyle. The lower-level features nine large windows above ground
that shed light into the lower level, fully integrating the upper and lower living spaces. An

interior design features. The contemporay architecture is combined with a vaulted open
beamed ceiling that houses two stone fireplaces, five bedrooms (or four plus a home
office), three full baths, dining and living room spaces and an oversized double front
drive attached garage with driveway, combined parking for six vehicles. The new
