As we approach the last days of 2016, let’s take a stroll through some of the most memorable—and covetable—midcentury modern homes that went on the market this year. We’ve got time capsules, jewel boxes, and never-before-seens, from Kansas City to Kalamazoo, some still available, and others long-gone. Whether they were designed by big-names like Frank Lloyd Wright or are of mysterious provenance, here are 10 houses that we loved this year.
Untouched in Napa, California
