 Another real swinging place...!
I'm trying to see more appliance shots and for them to come in clearer...

I really love the style....
.....of this 1970's house!
The house I currently own had foil wallpaper in the entry foyer (blue and silver). The house my parents had built in 1969 had "wood" (styrofoam) beams on the family room ceiling. Also the dark woodwork (doors, trim, etc.). I'm sure someone will buy the place and decorate it in shades of gray and white. Pity that.... | ||

That house is certainly a time capsule. The owners must be the original owners and they took very good care of it. There is little to no wear showing on anything, the carpets, the woodwork, the wall paper all look to be in very good condition for a house that’s at least 50 years old.
I don’t know that I’d want to live in it exactly as it is, but it would also be a shame for someone to buy it, gut it and then remodel it in the ubiquitous mode of the day with pickled gray laminate or hardwood floors and everything else in in shades of white and gray. No individuality. Eddie | ||

It is something, lots to like and some questionable choices like that plaid wallpaper in the laundry room. It seemed a bit confusing at first but then saw that it's a hillside bungalow with 3 levels. One of those kitchens is in the basement it seems and there appears to be some water damage on some ceilings. I imagine replacing that style of shingle roof might cost a premium over a more traditional one. I'd sure like a walk-thru to get a better sense of the style and size of the rooms because the pictures are stretched as usual . Looks too like it's been on the market since March and the price has dropped significantly from $469k.

What a time capsule! Shagalicious! Corning range? For sure Filtex vacuum system --the type of wall valves gives that away. Too many updates to make it a today house! Worried about the ceilings! | ||

Time to get out the disco 8-tracks...
Because that’s the most 70’s thing I’ve seen in a long time! The only things I’d do would be to remove the hideous stainless steel microwave in the second kitchen, chuck the modern toilets in favor of period-correct ones, put the central AC system back to an old R22 unit from the period, and instal my center dial Maytags in the laundry room.

Given what the hurricane did to NC and TN, I would be uneasy about that creek in the back. Storms are getting scarier. | ||

Tom, got that right. Wouldn’t want to live near a creek or river, too risky. Barry | ||

Thanks, Steve. I never saw this model advertised or in a dealer. Interesting. I wonder how long it was around. | ||

3 years? Tom, they show up in my 1979 Frigidaire full-line catalog that was published in August of 1978, so I assume the last 3 years of GM ownership. All GM designed ranges disappeared from the WCI lineup in 1980. | ||

R410. Now getting common.
Been common for years. But not anymore, new systems can't be sold with R410 next year.
