Property Description

Some houses just feel right the moment you arrive. 787 Vivian Court is one of them. Sitting on a quiet, tree-lined street in Baldwin Harbor, this classic high ranch has the kind of bones that people don't build anymore - solid red brick on the lower level, clean siding above, and a grand columned portico framing a front door with a beautiful oval leaded-glass insert that catches the light just so. Pull into the wide driveway, step out of the car, and you can already see the potential.Built in 1962, the house carries that mid-century confidence - generous rooms, real hardwood floors, and a layout that actually makes sense for the way people live. The two-car garage sits to the left of the entrance, handling the logistics of daily life without a second thought. The brick-paved front walkway leads you to the entrance, and the classic proportions and solid construction tell you immediately that the foundation of something really special is already here.Once you're inside, the main level opens up in a way that feels both spacious and full of possibility. The living room is anchored by a large projecting bay window on the right side of the house - the kind that pours morning light across the hardwood floors and makes the whole room glow. It flows naturally into the dining room, so whether you're hosting a dinner or just catching up at the end of a long day, the layout works with you rather than against you. The adjacent kitchen is well-equipped and functional, with a full complement of appliances and a floor plan that's ready for your personal touch.Down the hall, the bedrooms are tucked away from the main living areas, quiet and removed from the noise of the house. There's something to be said for that separation - it's the kind of thing you don't appreciate until you've lived without it. A little updating goes a long way up here, and the hardwood floors running throughout give you a genuinely strong starting point.Downstairs is where the high-ranch layout really earns its reputation. The lower level has its own direct access from the garage, and it opens into a large secondary living space with additional bedrooms and a half bath. It's flexible in the best possible way - a home office, a recreation room, a fitness space, or simply more room for a household that needs it. This level also connects directly to the backyard, and with some vision and effort, that connection becomes one of the best features of the house.The backyard sits on just over 7,800 square feet of lot - real outdoor space with ge
