Touted as the “House of the Future” by Popular Mechanics in 1955, the home today is a little dated but many features are now standard in homes today. The garage door opener, open floor plan, and efficient heat and air are still popular! The intercom system… not so popular. From NBC News.com,
A master panel in the bedroom controls all the indoor and outdoor lights, as well as turns on a coffeemaker in the kitchen. Built in Brentwood, Calif. to last several centuries, and withstand fire, earthquakes and temperature extremes, Popular Mechanics’ 1955 “House of the Future” still contains features desired by homeowners today.
If you want to own the “House of the Future,” you can! It’s now for sale – asking price $1.8 million. If I was going to buy a future home, I’d want one with a transporter and a replicator!
