A 1955 house packed with mid-century treasures has remained untouched and frozen in time - for 70 years.

Max Natanek, 29, toured the property, which is located two hours outside of Chicago in Ashton, Illinois, and filmed the unique vintage home.

The house was designed and built in 1955 by its owner, Stanwood "Stan" Griffith, for his wife Frances and their two children."

Stan passed away in 2013, but Frances stayed in the home until her death in 2024.

The home has functioning 1950s kitchen appliances, a built-in 'boomerang' sofa and bubble lamps from iconic American designer George Nelson, preserving the look and feel of mid-century American design.

Max, a content creator and designer from Chicago, Illinois, said: "Walking around the home, it's kind of impossible not to fall in love with the Griffiths. "

"Stan Griffith had no formal training in architecture, which makes it all the more impressive how forward thinking some of the features are."

Max is a content creator whose page focuses on showcasing interesting homes.

He has several realtor contacts, one of whom, Lou Zucaro, reached out when this house hit the market.

The house is listed one of the couple's children and is on sale for $240,000 (£178,835).

According to Max, the house is similar to Case Study homes of the 1940s and 1950s, which were designed to showcase affordable, modernist living with innovative materials and open, functional layouts.

Max said: "Most of the built-ins, including the record book in the living room, and the cabinets underneath the massive picture window, are plywood."

"The tiles in the bathroom are plastic and the curved brick wall that forms the core of this house is made of the same bricks you'll find in any alley in the Chicagoland area."

The house also has several personal touches, including a hand-written height chart marking the children's heights as they grew.

Max said: "My absolute favourite element was the hand-written height chart in the primary bathroom. "

"It starts all the way back in 1955, and goes up to 1966, and tracks the growth of Stan and France's two children."

"It even tracks major events with entries like '11th birthday', 'cast removed', and 'first day of school'."

"I was so beyond delighted finding that, it felt like residential archeology."
