A well-preserved midcentury modern house in Kansas wasn’t destined to spend much time on the open market when it listed early in September. Priced at $325K, the 2,466 sq. ft., 1958-built home closed before the month was out, and likely at ask or above; the selling price has not yet been recorded.

The two-bedroom, two-bath home sits on a 2.02-acre lot. Its façade is glass-heavy, which gives the home an invitational transparency from without and, from within, a brightness to match the openness of its shared living area. Social interaction was fundamental to the sensibilities rooting the modern style, and this home’s extravagantly facilitating touches include a long, curving, bench-like sofa and a step-down fireplace conversation space.

Throughout the home, accents and fixtures stand as homage to the property’s build period. Paneling, a seemingly endless series of pendants, built-in bookshelves and a splendid semi-enclosed floating staircase all contribute to the potent time-defying living style. The circle is the motif, and from the roofline to the living area’s fireplace, the kitchen to the master bath, the motif accumulates, suggesting cycle, renewal, and the simple day-to-day of domesticity.

Other touches include a mosaic shower stall — a little formalist abstract expressionism in the morning gets the blood pumping. The original Eames, Miller and Knoll furnishings were offered as an option in the sale.
