Every Single Midcentury Trend Lives At This One Address

Low slopes, clean lines, inlaid brick flooring, cork floors, steel St. Charles kitchen cabinets, a built-in butcher block, wood paneling, built-ins, marble countertops, polished chrome, and the freaking holy grail of untouched midcentury dreams – TERRAZZO floors. The real stuff, too.

And before I go any further, I need to call out a recent listacle titled “Ten Trends You’ll Regret in Five Years,” where they had the audacity to put terrazzo on the list. Terrazzo. Our precious concrete and rock cut floors. Dream on, right? It’s been around for a minute. Though there was a brief time in the 1980s when people decided to cover their beautiful terrazzo with berber carpet. But that’s only because they were bananas.

[Let’s settle this in our comments below. If you’re a designer or trend caster or have a minimum five followers on TikTok, please weigh in – Is Terrazzo gonna go?!?]

Now back to the house. It is so special. It’s 2,137 square feet, but it’s open and light-filled and feels like it definitely has room for all of your things.

Open yet private, right? There are still walls and halls and doors, (some of which have an elaborate inset). I mean, it was built in the 1960s after all. Like it has that all important door to the hallway leading to the bedrooms so you could usher the kids away when it was time to dinner party, adults only.

And here’s another fun fact you didn’t ask for – Do you know why sofas from that era were on wheels? Turns out housewives couldn’t actually lift sofas but obviously they still needed to vacuum under them so voila, wheels. That was told to me by a midcentury furniture dealer so if it’s not true blame him.

More about the house?? Okay. I mean I’ve pretty much already said all you need to know. TERRAZZO. And cork. Freaking love a cork floor. It’s set up on the top of the gentlest hill, there’s a car port in the front that’s integrated into the architecture and the backyard has the quintessential reedy bamboo.
