The 1950s suburban family life home of your dreams just hit the market at $439K and we’re obsessed. It’s even more on-point than the 1970s Miami house we recently profiled and just a smidgen more expensive than the MCM Fayetteville, NY home we keep drooling over.
Take a look inside this Phoenix stunner—all the pink and teal detailing has us feeling like we’re moving into an understated Barbie Dream House.
“Step into a piece of Phoenix history with this stunning 1957 mid-century ranch home that perfectly encapsulates the retro charm and stylish elegance of its era,” shares the property listing.
“Designed by architect James G. Hart and built by developer George Richards. This unique property features a retro kitchen with an original re-wired General Electric oven and cooktop, blending vintage appeal with modern functionality.”

“The home is perfect for entertaining, with a spacious living room complete with a skylight and fireplace, a welcoming dining room, and a fun and unique tiki room ideal for gatherings,” the listing continues, and we agree. Think of all the fun photo opps!
“The property boasts striking curb appeal with great use of color and design, complemented by low-maintenance landscaping.”
While the furniture is negotiable, it is sparsely furnished right now. Consider adding touches of this year’s Pantone Peach Fuzz hue, a nod to the 1950s, with accent pillows, rugs and statement chairs.
“Delight in the home’s design details, including the original front door, light fixtures, fireplace, and window details.”
We love the breakfast nook with original 1950s furniture. Are you getting flashbacks of lunch in Grandma’s kitchen and collection? We are—just bring your vintage cast iron skillet collection.
With three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and 1,788 square feet, it’s certainly the ideal 1950s suburban family life home with all the trimmings.
And we’re betting you could make bank renting this out as a photo for film production set or kitschy Airbnb—Phoenix is a short flight from Los Angeles.
It’s great opportunity to own a uniquely historic home that offers stylish, charming living with a dose of mid-century modern living.
Just look at all the detailing! Teal walls, checkerboard tile floors, pedastal sinks, pink curtains—this home really has the works!
We’re especially fond of the exterior. The front door looks like it could be ripped out of The Jetsons, while the backyard boasts a tiki bar. Tiki bars were especially popular in post-WW2 American society, with even nuclear families in northern, cold climates like Ohio and New Jersey proudly building these themed party spaces outside their homes.
We normally showcase homes well over the $1,000,000 mark, but this bargain was just too good to pass up. How often to do you find a standalone, single-family home with all the most stylish retro trimmings for about $400k?
It’s rare. So rare that we couldn’t pass it up.
Just do us a favor? If you buy this pristine 1950s decor time capsule, don’t change a thing. Keep it as-is and send us pictures so we can show the world how you waved your magic furniture and decor wand!
