This mid-century modern house built in 1958 in Green Bay, Wisconsin is the trippiest I've ever seen. It has 5bd 3.5ba and is listed for $359,900.

Enter thru the front door w/the port hole window. After a brief step onto the tiled swatch of flooring, step onto the carpet and go either right to the living room, or straight ahead to the stairs.

To the left of the stairs, continue on to the rest of the 1st floor living spaces.

This is quite the spacious sunken living room with 4 full-sized curved sofa pieces, plus room to spare.

Next to, and 2 steps up from the living room, is the dining room separated by a stacked stone slab wall that matches the exterior of the home.

The kitchen is a large immaculately kept original with it's MCM cabinetry, orange laminate counters and tile backsplash. Even the neon light fixtures and round exhaust fan are vintage.

There is plenty room for a big everyday dining table.

And, just like the open concept homes of today, there's a family room that's open to the kitchen, but MCM style, with it's shag carpet, stone wall and modern fireplace design. There's also a nook with a desk in the corner.

Check out the long, curvy sink in the wedge-shaped powder room.

Up in the hall the owners papered the wall with maps.

The large wood paneled main bd has a large desk built into the corner.

Across from the main bd is this spacious secondary bd and the second of 3 large baths.

This bd has a wood feature wall and a wall of shelving.

A partial and upholstered wall in this big room serves as a feature wall and headboard for the bed.

Behind it is a dressing area with storage and a vanity table.

The 3rd of 3 large baths.

Beautiful sun room.

Almost a half an acre of land surrounds the house.

Shout out to these folks who started protesting bright and early yesterday morning 🙌

Some backstory for those of you who may not know:

Kwik Trip is a Midwest-based gas station chain with an ever-increasing number of stores in nearly every town in Wisconsin. In some places, like on college campuses or in rural communities without a nearby grocery store or drug store, Kwik Trips may also be a sort of general store where people can purchase fresh groceries, basic medical necessities, and cleaning supplies.

However, Kwik Trip corporation is against selling condoms because they are a "family store" and it goes against their values. Franchise founder Don Zietlow has a long history of contributing Kwik Trip earnings to conservative politicians - like those who support limiting access to birth control and abortion.
