Welcome to this very exciting Mid Century Modern Home in Turpin Hills. It is in a Coming Soon status until Tuesday, October 7. The auditor has the house at 1257 sqft on the first floor and the lower level is another 1257 sqft of bedrooms. At 2514 sqft, this home isnt small for the neighborhood but it is proportioned differently. Please review the floorplans and best use the virtual tour- Matterport- to digitally walk thru the house to learn about how you could enjoy this home.

This is not a traditional house. This is truly a one of a kind floorplan and it is for the simple, minimalist or artist within you! Entertaining space abound on the first floor with ceilings soaring past 9′ in height, the wood burning fireplace which these owners use periodically at holiday times, the circular circulation of the first floor. The flooring in the house gives you the MCM slate floor on the front stoop which is repeated into the foyer/ entry and through to the dining room. Then a gorgeous site finish oak flooring adorns the other rooms on the first floor. Decor can be tailored in this setting and decorating this house should be fun!

The Entry of this house is fun as it starts with the slab front door which is set within a wall of glass. The light which comes into this space is so inviting next to the warmth of the brick and the sightlines to dining room and then further screened porch and wooded backyard.

The Dining Room adjoins to the kitchen through an opening, but visually is very connected to the Living Room of the house. The living room has the clerestory windows MCM’s are known for and gives this gallery quality of design to this first impression of the house.

The kitchen and family room are directly adjoining with matching widths. The kitchen sink overlooks the backyard and is a very special hammered copper sink. The countertop is a Cambria style solid surface and has wood stained cabinetry surrounding.

Above the cooktop is a chefs list maker, a recipe noteboard or photo board. Recessed lighting gives good task lighting in this space.

All appliances remain with the house- oven, microwave, gas cooktop, dishwasher.

The Family Room has a matching brick accent wall that the chimney in the Living Room is built from also. The attention to detail to bring a material palette across the house occurs several times with different materials in this detail filled home.

The Primary Suite is the largest bedroom, offers a modest sitting room and has an ensuite bathroom. The flooring of the bedroom is a new wall to wall carpet, the bedroom has a gorgeous iconic MCM window and offers 2 closets.

The bathroom ensuite is a tiled room. The shower area offers a corner built-in seat and a frameless shower door unit. The single bowl vanity has a gracious countertop.

The two additional bedrooms on the lower level share the bathroom with the ensuite primary via a “Jack-n-Jill” style layout from a hallway. From a lifestyle standpoint, the second shower in the house is off of the laundry room for the other house guests.

The bedrooms and connecting hallyways have new carpet as of 2025.

Bedroom One is the larger of the two additional bedrooms. It offers 2 large closets and the iconic MCM window to view the private backyard.

Bedroom Two is the smallest room and large single closet and nook with built-in shelving. The floating shelves will stay with the house.

The Screened porch is accessed from the dining room sliding door or the door off of the family room/ kitchen. The space is a simple but very functional space with a painted wood floor, screening material and large uninterrupted views into the privacy of the backyard.

The laundry room which is on the main/ first level of the house connects the garage with the entry hallways. The European scaled built in washer and dryer will remain with the house.

The shower of the second bathroom is within this laundry room. It is a tiled surround with glass door enclosure.

The powder room on the other side of the laundry room and shower gives your guests privacy or could be used in tandem with the bathroom in the lower level.

Welcome to 5961 Crittenden Dr in Anderson’s Turpin Hills neighborhood.

Lovingly maintained by the same family since 1975, this residence offers a captivating blend of vintage charm and practical design.

The main level boasts 1700 square feet of light-filled living space, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The primary bedroom has a modest full bath ensuite. Mid-Century Modern elements are beautifully preserved, including a classic grilling station and an incredible three-sided fireplace. An intelligent layout allows for separation of public and private areas, with a hallway door providing a distinct division to the bedroom wing.

The basement expands the living possibilities, offering a bathroom, billiards room, and a cozy office/den. Convenient access thru the laundry room to the 2-car garage is available from the basement, along with a walk-out to the backyard.

The Primary Suite is on the front left corner of the house (viewed from street) and offers an ensuite bathroom.

The well proportioned room is a typical 50’s ranch size of 13′ x 11′ and has two closet sections. The ensuite bathroom is the cutest size, but its only for one at a time! The room has casement windows and wall to wall carpet. The late Seller’s son is not aware of the flooring if any under the carpet in this section of the house.

Two additional bedrooms are within the “private” side of the house. One currently is staged (and was used) as a television den by the Owners. The doors for the closets, which is where the furniture is sitting, are in the basement in storage. They can be re-installed very easily by the next Owner.
The third bedroom has an oversized closet and a single window overlooking the backyard.

The Hall bathroom which supports these two bedrooms, as well as guests, has a tub with shower and is a uniform size of bathrooms for the era.

The basement is split into 3 uses from my point of view. Finished, Mechanical/ Utility, Unfinished
The finished side of the basement is the area at the bottom of the stairs. If you descend the stairs, youd enter the den if you turn right and youd be in the billiards area when turning left.
The door to the side loaded stairs to get you to the backyard is centered on the wall where the billiards table is.
The bathroom is a full bathroom, but we are only counting it as a half on the MLS sheet. The shower could be a great wash off station for your pets but I cant imagine without significant improvement that the next owner would get excited about using it.
The Mechanical/ Utility portion is the garage spaces and then the front portion of the garage has been utilized for the HVAC air handler/ heater and the water heater. The air handler was just replaced in 2024, but the water heater is an old Rheem electric with a blanket over it. No date known, but likely very old.
The Unfinished area includes the Laundry Room which doubled as a storage/ workshop area. This area is the transition from the garage to the finished area. Laundry equipment is to remain unless youd like it removed.
