Constructed in 1959, this exceptional mid-century modern residence offers a rare opportunity to become only the third owner of a remarkably well-preserved architectural gem. Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the property reflects not only the stylistic innovations of its era but also the broader cultural and economic optimism that defined the postwar United States.The late 1950s marked a transformative moment in American history--a period shaped by economic prosperity, technological ambition, and rapid suburban expansion. Often referred to by scholars as the 'Golden Age of capitalism,' these years were characterized by low unemployment, rising wages, stable prices, and an unprecedented standard of living for the American middle class. This home, with its clean lines, flowing interior spaces, and harmony between indoor and outdoor environments, exemplifies the values of that affluent society.Its design echoes the aesthetics of the Atomic and Space Ages, when American exceptionalism was celebrated in both domestic life and global politics. In the same year this home was built, Vice President Richard Nixon participated in the famous 'Kitchen Debate' with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev--an exchange centered on American consumer culture and technological superiority.
