Inside, room after room boasts design touches that exemplify the iconic Mid-Century style, from brightly painted, highly textured walls and floors to exposed beams and ample windows. Guests will be transported between worlds as they make their way through each room—a unique den with rich, red carpet and dark floor-to-ceiling bookshelves inspires study and hibernation, while the kitchen, just steps away, is filled with sunlight and overlooks the backyard.

The home’s personality is also expressed through texture; the kitchen’s oven is nestled within a long brick wall, an expansive stonework wall houses a fireplace in the living room, and bold, floor-to-ceiling black-and-white stripes adorn the walls of another room.
