Mid-Century Modern is one of the design styles that I’ve found most people either really love, or can’t stand – there’s rarely a middle ground. Fans of the Bauhaus aesthetic, the Mad Men TV series, and hosting outdoor get-togethers will undoubtedly enjoy looking at this house as much as I do.

This 1958 Mid-Century Modern home is currently listed at $2,995,000, and is located on Montecito Ave in Santa Rosa. This home exemplifies this style of architecture flawlessly; all clean lines with a focus on bringing the outside in.

The 5 bedroom, 6 bath, 3,900 square foot home has an open floor plan along with plenty of windows and outdoor living space that makes it feel much larger.

The dining room features a table that doesn’t invite a large meal, but the wall to ceiling windows suggest that an al fresco dinner may be more welcoming.
