That's a very nice house for the price - looks to be in excellent condition. Since it was built in '60, that wouldn't be the original oven or hood. They look early - mid 70's to me. Yellow sink appears to be a Kohler, in their Sunrise color. | ||

Nice 60s House The CT and Wall Oven might be original, but only if the house was built after 1966 when shaded avocado appeared.
Not a bad price, too bad you can't move the house to Maryland,.
In Maryland the average household income is $88,000 per year [ the highest state wide average in the nation ] You could pay cash for another house every year by living with friends for a year or so.

I don’t think it’s original The Zillow listing says this house was built in 1960 and based on the decor and style, I think that’s right. I bet the lady of the house wanted the latest color “avocado” and had the oven and range hood changed out. It seems like the cooktop is gas and possibly stainless steel/chrome. Definitely not a Frigidaire. | ||

 I noticed that bad vent, too, Bob. Dang. If there were no other way to safely vent the dryer, I'd look for another house.

Vent Wow! That dryer vent is crazy!! The price is fairly inexpensive even for Bartlesville. I would imagine it is priced with the assumption that the buyer will want to gut the entire house. Very said, because it really does appear to be in very good condition! | ||

I would replace that dryer vent with solid metal ductwork. | ||

 Yeah, you can't even buy a trailer for $89K around here. But I guess a few million people can't be wrong, or ours wouldn't be the most expensive real estate market in the nation -- outrageously so.
We lived for 18 years in a neighborhood that was built in phases from the mid '50s to 1960. Some of the later homes had similar exhaust hoods to the one pictured in the Zillow listing. I think that hood is original and was painted to match the avocado updates.
Nothing screams bad '70s like that hideous hanging lamp in the kitchen. Its flush-mount counterpart isn't just awful; it's stupid looking.
The knobs on that yellow sink would be considered a safety hazard these days. | ||

 $89,000 ! I don't live in an "expensive" area, but you may be able to find a double-wide mobile on a rented space for that price, but it would not be all that great. What a bargain! In my home town of San Jose, that house would be very close to $2,000,000...if not more.
There's a Swedish saying that IKEA is said to use as part of their business philosophy. It goes something like this..."make do or be satisfied with what you have". I think that easily applies to many parts of that very nice home. | ||
