Probably the same thing as a Tappan Fabulous 400.

Chris, that's probably made by GE, similar to their Americana series.

Bob, did GE have an Americana range with a pull out surface like that? I never knew that!
Except for the arrangement of the surface units which enabled it to have a slightly shallower cooktop, everything else like the clock, positioning of the controls, & side-swing oven door looks like the 30" electric Tappan.
That's a Tappan design, Chris. My sister had one in her house until the oven wouldn't heat above 112 F and she twitched her nose and it was gone. She hated that range - in a small kitchen the last thing you want is a big appliance that grows to take up more room and the oven was too small for most jelly roll pans.
I thought it was just "Fabulous" and was all ready to embark on an exhaustive search for the oven thermostat, but she would have none of it. "Get it outta here!"
She now has a 30" Whirlpool coil-top range in it's place.

The O&M was a Tappan design too, but in gas. I think Dan in Seattle had one just like this from Tappan.
I have a NIB O&M branded microwave oven made by Tappan in storage. Browning element, electronic controls and the famous Tappan flip-latch on the door front. I'll never use it, just thought it was neat with the O&M brand. Let me know if it keeps any of you up at night with pangs of longing ;-)

We've rejected the house as it isn't quite right for us....and the rooms are smaller than they look in the pics too...
....but it is a lovely home....I would have considered it if the rooms were a little larger, there was a rumpus room underneath (as there should be given they put garages under)...
...and to get that stove

Believe that Sears may have had something similar sourced from Roper in the 1962-1968 timeframe
Sears top oven range
When my Uncle Kell & Aunt Julie built their house in 1965 (later destroyed by fire), they bought a Kenmore range with the top oven & pull out burners. It had a steel storage cabinet in coppertone under it, which was sold seperately, as the range could also be put atop a cabinet which would match the others in the kitchen. Not sure if it was made by Roper though, as Sears did source certain ranges from others. They also had a Kenmore DW with Roto-rack, and GE ref., all in coppertone.
