From the Agent: "Known as the Nittler Residence, this exceptional Carmichael property sits on a secluded, nearly half-acre hillside lot surrounded by mature trees near the American River Parkway. Walls of glass and floor-to-ceiling windows flood the home with natural light while framing views of the surrounding landscape. A dedicated children’s wing includes three bedrooms with built-in desks and shared bath facilities, while the primary suite offers privacy at the opposite end of the home. Outdoor amenities include a fully updated and manicured back and front yard, including: a wraparound deck, remodeled pool with retractable cover, and lush landscaping that creates a peaceful tree-canopy setting. Original architectural drawings, floor plans, and specification documents further enhance the home’s historic significance. A rare opportunity to own one of the Sacramento region’s most important and beautifully preserved midcentury-modern residences."
