It's in a "fixer-upper" house for sale ($1.95 million) right here in Brooklyn. Sadly, you and I know the most likely fate for those vintage appliances. Check out that General Electric, looks immaculate!

My dream fridge!  I'll bet it's immaculate inside too.

 

$1.95M doesn't make me feel so bad about our current house hunting experience.  I'm hoping I can keep things down to around $1.25M.

That's one sad, dark kitchen without a Magicube flash.  Anyone recognize the compactor brand?  Might be a clue to the original dishwasher.

Good point, Greg.  Even some cabinet hardware would help.  At the very least, I wouldn't hesitate to paint over all of that dark wood to lighten things up.  The cabinetry style and the wood that was used aren't anything worth keeping original.

that is one cringe worthy kitchen.  Drop a bomb on it.

Agreed. There's nothing worth saving in that sh*thole besides the appliances.

No doubt the original kitchen was far more appealing, and unlike the existing design, might have still been today.

It's a late 19th century townhouse. Sadly, many of the original details have been lost. Here's the original link to the real estate ad:

Paneling in kitchen

My parents bought a run down house in 1969 and spent all of the 70's working on it while we lived there. Wood paneling was the thing for DIYers during that time and every room had some kind of paneling including the kitchen. At the time it was very stylish.

Yes.

Paneling and the "Colonial" look.

I actually like it very much, kind of comforting going back to the good ol days.

From reading the description it sounds like it's been subdivided into two units and that is the lower kitchen.. I wonder why they didn't post more pictures of the rest of the house. l

Town houses of this era are typically divided into 2 sometimes 3 separate apartments. Thankfully most that are bought are now reverted back into the original 1 family configuration.

The appliances----SAVE!!!!the cabinet doors---first try taking a belt sander to them to get rid of the FAKE distressed look finish.There may be some NICE wood underneath.I LIKE a wood look if it is natural and proper looking-not what you see there.Better REAL wood than particleboard!!!!!That would have an even CRAPPIER finish-like the fake plastic wood "veneer"!
