Of the 24 homes that were eventually built, just a handful remain today β€” and this property in Minnesota is one of them.

Located in Saint Louis Park and listed for $925,000, the 1958 home has been carefully restored throughout, blending classic mid-century design with contemporary touches.

With an open plan design, the 3,690-square-foot house is spacious and perfect for hosting β€” but the warm tones and wood paneling throughout ensure it's still very much a cozy, homely space too.

There are five bedrooms and three bathrooms in the house, as well as a lower level that features a second family room, an exercise room and a laundry area.

If you're still not convinced that 8000 Westwood Hills Drive would make a dreamy family home, looking outside might do it.

Across the half-acre lot there's a kids' swing set, a sunlit patio and plenty of decking from which to host everything from family lunches to parties. What more could you want?
