About this home
The year is 1870 nearly a decade before Edison lit up the world, and this home was the futuristic marvel of its time. Featuring windows, whole-house heating, indoor plumbing, iron nails to secure the wooden joints and interior cellar stairs to add that little touch of class. Truly a temple built for the gods. In the early 1900s, this home helped lead Rockefeller's Industrial Revolution. With the addition of heating oil delivered by the truck load to your front door and electricity flowing into every room. No more high priced oats, thanks to the new driveway which allows you to park Ford's new horseless carriage just outside. Life was good. Enter the Space Age with the little house that could! Enjoy Maytag's indoor washer and dryer - goodbye clothesline, hello luxury! Got 14 hours and a Turkey? Then you would have loved General Electric's stove-top oven. Bye-Bye ice man Frigidaire's fridge-freezer combo came with a metric ton of freon and Hydrator the humidity drawer to keep your veggies as fresh as your 1950s style. But let's not forget the 8th wonder of the world: Raytheon's radar range (aka microwave). Who needs to cook when you can irradiated your food? Fast forward 156 years and the future is now. Updated in 2016, both units feature in-unit washer and dryer, refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, and microwave just as God intended. Did someone say Solar panels? Yes this house finally went green. So bring a checkbook, because this house won't wait for you to catch up.
