Property Description

Step into a piece of architectural history with this beautifully preserved Lustron home, one of fewer than 2,500 ever built. Designed in the late 1940s as a bold vision of modern living, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath gem features original porcelain-enameled steel walls and ceilings, offering unparalleled durability, low maintenance, and mid-century charm. Inside, you'll find sleek built-ins, including metal cabinetry, bookcases, and a unique bathroom vanity-all integral to Lustron's space-saving design. The open living and dining area is bathed in natural light through oversized picture windows, highlighting the clean lines and minimalist aesthetic that defined this innovative era. Enjoy radiant ceiling heat, generous closet space, and a compact utility area with laundry hookup. Outside, the iconic pastel-colored steel panels and low-pitched gable roof reflect the original vision for a maintenance-free lifestyle. In addition to the main home, you'll find a detached garage and a finished, heated rec room-a rare bonus space that opens up endless possibilities. Whether you're dreaming of a home office, art studio, workout room, or cozy guest retreat, this versatile area adds valuable square footage and flexibility to suit your lifestyle. Located on a quiet, tree-lined street, this home is perfect for architecture enthusiasts, collectors of Americana, or anyone seeking a one-of-a-kind residence. Own a home that's not just a place to live, but a story to tell. Home sold as-is.
