This fabulous fifties Connecticut home is a mid-century modern dream.

Mid-century modern continues to be a popular style when it comes to design and home decor, but it’s rare to find an authentic mid-century-era home that hasn’t already been updated beyond recognition. I recently came across a listing for a sprawling 1959 Cromwell, Connecticut, example that still had its wood paneling, brick siding, and walls of windows, but also (and best of all) many of its original interior fixtures and design elements. It’s a delightful example of 1950’s suburban America. Have a look and see if you’re equally enchanted.
