Reagans' 'Home of the Future' for sale for $5 million - Washington Times

Reagans' 'Home of the Future' for sale for $5 million - Washington Times:
In 1956, Ronald and Nancy Reagan helped design their onetime residence: a 4,764-square-foot, four-bedroom, four-bath ranch house in the tony Pacific Palisades neighborhood in west Los Angeles — now up for for sale.

It is, in real-estate parlance, "midcentury modern." There are glass-walled rooms, fabulous views, an indoor courtyard, vaulted ceilings, streamlined cabinets, granite walls, den with wet bar, all manner of electric gadgetry, an octagonal swimming pool and sprawling open spaces for entertaining.

That's where he got The Call from Jimmy Carter conceding the 1980 presidential election. Carter famously conceded while the polls were still open in ten western states, costing a lot of Democrats their jobs.
