The house's midcentury charm has been well-maintained, so much so that walking into it feels like stepping back in time. Original features include: warm mahogany paneled walls; soaring tongue-and-groove stained ceilings; walls of glass; multiple skylights; and globe pendant lighting throughout. Still, there have been some modernizing updates. The bathroom has had new tile installed, and the kitchen appliances come from Miele and Frigidaire.
