Everyone gets Motorola for Christmas!
Motorola, 1962
full size 1188x726 and gorgeous! Have a look at it enlarged. And while I realize the demented impracticality of a pendant spiral staircase over a water feature, I still WANT this house.
The artist who painted these gems is Charles Schridde (who just passed in May of this year). These ads and other vintage television ads can be had (at Amazon for an astonishing low price of 30¢, not a typo) in the book Window to the Future: The Golden Age of Television... by Steve Kosareff. Further ad paintings by Schridde are HERE and HERE at Paleofuture.com
Two other Motorola House of the Future ads below (equally beautiful and retro-futuristic).
That BALCONY. GIVE IT ME NOW.

Nothing about this one makes sense, but I want to sleep on that upper bed. :D
