Inside the house Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak built in 1986 (and it looks a LOT like one of his iconic stores)

For a man who has lived and breathed Apple since the 1970s, it's perhaps unsurprising that his home took influence from his innovative inventions.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak's former home, which he built in Los Gatos, California in 1986, has been put back on the market - and it looks rather reminiscent of one of his iconic stores.

The post-modern, property, with its stream-lined, white fittings and wooden floors, is up for sale for $4.395million.

Look familiar? The home has a similar modern, sleek, white appearance to an Apple store

Serene: The property was designed by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak in 1986 and has retained many of its original features

Jump right in: The home comes with a specially designed pool and a Koi pond

Sleek: The stainless steel kitchen comes complete with breakfast bar and dining area with stained glass roof

It has dropped down from $5million last time it was on the market in February last year.

Although the home has been given a makeover, many of the original features are intact. The open plan design draws in plenty of light with its lofty skylights dotted across 7,500 square feet.

The home, which is being sold by real estate broker Arthur Sharif, includes six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a swimming pool with waterfall and Koi pond.

The property sits in the affluent community of Los Gatos in Silicon Valley which is reportedly the 33rd wealthiest town in America. The downtown area is renowned for its upscale boutiques, galleries and Michelin-star restaurants.

Where's the Genius Bar? Apple founder's former home on market

Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs met in 1969, becoming friends while working for Hewlett-Packard in 1970. By 1976, Wozniak was refining his own computer design.
Apple Inc. was established in April 1976 and the first order of 50 computers was assembled in the Jobs' family garage.
It was the beginning of the two college dropouts' company which went on to become the world's highest-valued and turned Wozniak into a multimillionaire.

Plush: The home places high importance on technology in the tech heartland of Silicon Valley

Dream home: The property is set deep in the Silicon Valley but is suitable only for those with deep pockets (and perhaps a love of Disney's Little Mermaid)

Bright and airy: The property's many windows means sunlight streams in as you look out over the grounds and pool

Cream of the crop: The property was built by Wozniak after Apple started to have success in the early 1980s

Sophisticated: The property has fallen in price slightly since it was last put on the market in 2012 at $5million

California dream: The home was designed by Wozniak in the early days of Apple before it became to world's highest-valued company

Place looks like a hospital. The only room that looks "like a home" is the kids room, rest looks like an expensive clinic for plastic surgery. Why do they do that, why do ppl with money always want to live in cold, colourless homes when with their money they could make it a beautiful, elegant place to live. Imagine the wonderful pieces of art, ornaments, silks and carpets you could decorate this home with if you have that kind of money.....and he came up with that! clinic style.

I built two houses down the road from this one. The modern style he chose doesnt fit the area at all. The property is worth far more than the house. Bascially the house is a joke. Woz was the engineer to Jobs marketing and bully-tactic management style. Woz left long ago. True. Woz had nada to do with the stores, really Woz had nothing to do with anything after the Apple Mac and the failed Newton. Woz lives on his investments from money he got after the IPO. In fact, Woz doesnt even like the iPhone. He carries an Android.
