Boasting clean lines, sleek designs and floor-to-ceiling windows, the two-story residence at 203 Chimney Rock Road, on sale for $800,000, is not what you’d expect a 1960s home to look like.

The 2,308-square-foot home, built in 1965, sits on a .65-acre wooded lot nestled in Houston’s Memorial Close In area. The modern-style estate features four beds, four full baths, and is enhanced with private terraces, covered outdoor entertainment areas and custom tiered flower beds, according to the official listing posted on HAR.com.

Outside, stoned walkways, wooded pathways and a massive collection of fruit trees including peaches, tangerines, bananas and oranges, offer a serene atmosphere.

Here’s a look at the property’s description from the official listing:
