The Midcentury Modern-style home, dating to 1963, has maple wood floors, a step-down living room and walls of windows that take in garden views. The kitchen, equipped with marble countertops and custom cabinetry, opens to the family and dining rooms. There are seven bedrooms and four bathrooms in more than 4,400 square feet of space.
