Architectural sophistication defines this thoughtfully updated 1960s mid-century modern residence by acclaimed architect Vail Logsdon, ideally situated on historic Birdcreek Drive in Temple. Set on a rare half-acre corner lot backing to a tranquil creek and surrounded by mature trees and bamboo, the property offers exceptional privacy and a serene, estate-like setting.
Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and expansive walls of windows create dramatic scale and natural light. Terrazzo tile and natural oak flooring pair with custom oak built-ins, recessed lighting, and curated fixtures to create a refined yet inviting atmosphere. Recent updates include fresh interior and exterior paint, stylish lighting, and thoughtfully selected finishes throughout.
The kitchen blends character with modern function, featuring quartz countertops, painted cabinetry, a striking backsplash, matte Café appliances, and a sculptural range hood. The open layout connects dining and living spaces for easy entertaining. Bathrooms have been upgraded with quartz countertops and modern sinks, and additional improvements include painted cabinetry and custom butcher block desks.
A versatile fourth bedroom offers space for an office, guest suite, or studio. The primary suite includes a private patio retreat. Outdoors, a large deck overlooks the tree-lined backyard and creek, creating an ideal setting for relaxation or gatherings.
Additional enhancements include gutter guards, added doors for improved flow, and smart home features such as a smart lock, flood lights, and doorbell. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive mid-century modern home with meaningful updates in one of Temple’s most established neighborhoods.
