but for some reason I smell old people.
Hello, I DID mention the walking cane in the master bedroom next to the dresser. I suspect the owners are I assisted living or additional care environment and wanting to sell the house for $$$. My family room furniture is the "newest" furniture I have, bought in late 1970s. Some of the furnishings in the rooms are reminiscent of it. In a lot of ways, this house is a mixture of late 1950s/early 1960s and early 1970s. But it's big and beautiful (especially for its day). Was an expensive house when new. I wish they'd shown pictures of the laundry room and other 2nd tier rooms. Bit big open spaces. And as whirlcool says, we see a lot of these types of homes in Austin, Dallas, Houston. For San Antonio, this was quite an elaborate house in its day. Our neighbors who had the two LK Combos moved there in 1967. Still had the small town feel to it. San Antonio didn't really come into it own until the 1980s, always the big city wanna-be step child.
As a few have mentioned, there was something about the house that just didn't seem quite 1970s in some ways. Who knows. But at 5:30 am I couldn't quite put my finger n what I was feeling in my gut.
