This Midcentury Modern Abode Comes With an Orchid Room

You can barely see what's going on here through the shocking amount of lens vignetting (listing photos, people, listing photos), but let's just try to paint you a picture: this four bedroom, three and a half-bath midcentury modern, asking $599,900, is a custom home situated on a two-acre wooded lot. There are timber ceilings and stone walls; a newer gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, a skylight, and two pantry areas; and a tile foyer that includes an "orchid room/greenhouse." Whatever that means. A cursory Google search posing the question: "What is an orchid room?" led to a smoky dive bar in San Carlos, California, so you're on your own for this one, kids. The great room features a copper-clad fireplace but the real draw is a massive deck that places you right smack dab in the middle of that great peaceable kingdom right outside. The property also borders Whitford Country Club.
