Ok, the whole house is awesome, but that KITCHEN!!!

From the listing: “Step into an architect-designed Classic Mid-Century Modern home. No expense was spared to build this home, even a wall sconce beside the kitchen sink to see when paring the vegetables. Every detail imaginable; travertine marble on the formal fireplace in the living room, a second fireplace in the family room off the kitchen, wash basins in the bedrooms, custom steel kitchen cabinets with black walnut inserts, vaulted window end walls to bring in natural light as if you were outside, a covered patio area outside the kitchen to grill on rainy days, steps that have a canted edge for style and a bigger step, details everywhere you look. The lower level has a full living space with a complete bathroom and kitchen, perfect for the multi-generational family or as an ADU. Ever looked at California architect Eichler designs? This home reaches all the milestones of the era and genre’. Very rarely does a home step outside the crowd and say I’m special, this home does. Own an American classic and live a life of historic style. Priced very reasonably at $157 per SF.”
