I'm looking for the title and author of a short story I remember.  I
think Ray Bradbury is the author, but I'm not sure.  The story is
about a home full of automated robots which perform every task, from
cooking meals to vacuuming the floor to maintaining the garden. 
Eventually, you realize that there are no people in the story's
universe.  Something has happened to all the people that used to live
there (I remember having the impression that there was some sort of
nuclear holocaust, though the story leaves that unspecified), but the
automated-robot-house is unaware and continues acting like everyone is
still alive.

Hello.

The story is "There Will Come Soft Rains" (1950) by Ray Bradbury.

See this description from a newsgroup post:
