A 70s kitchen I could LOVE...

[funktionalart]

Pics aren't great--they're from real estate site I'm using for my property search out in Atlanta,Georgia.
Would not be heartbroken to have this house OR the kitchen--very simple, stylish and airy without the garish wallpaper, countertops and flooring usually seen in 1973! Not sure I'd want to keep the floor, but some period appliances in my collection would sure look nice in this room!

Funny enough, that trash compactor...

looks like an early 70s frigidaire--I came across what looks to be exactly that style and colour while out appliance hunting today.

That Oven

Is a Frigidaire I think, NICE house, I like that big open kitchen, lots of counter space for small appliances!!!

Hans…you read my mind.

AND: there is a full finished basement which could be done up for all the excess collection to live

 

[funktionalart]

tons of room...

What would have caused the water damage on the drop ceiling tiles? I love the look looks of that house though.

Its definitely a nice place. Coppertone paint on the d/w and Kilz on those ceiling tiles and it will be just like new 1970.

Here's a link to all the pics...

Probably shouldn't post to an appliance site…but what the heck. It's a nice home

.... ... Do you know what that house would go for around here? I'd say 280 EASILY... WHOLY CRAP!@!!!

Georgia is incredibly cheap….

That house (if on my street) would be over 1.5mil….

 

[supersuds]

I notice that it sold for more money in 1979 than they're asking for it today, probably for the reasons Tom mentioned.

 

[funktionalart]

And it has been for sale for 200 days...

So…there is ALWAYS a catch when things are this cheap. Still, my curiosity is piqued enough to go out there and look around before I get too caught up in the visuals and prices….

I wonder what the neighborhood is like? I know that there has been some racial disharmony at Stone Mountain.

That is a beautiful home. I think the kitchen is timeless. If that flooring is tile, I'd keep it. All it needs are updated appliances. Lots of new houses today have dark wood kitchen cabinets.

Allen~re; neighbourhoods...

It's a big question for me, hearing various stories about certain parts of Atlanta get discouraging--but I think it's a matter of having to spend some time around the places and see what the "gut" says…and probably studying local police reports.

I don't know….I had never been in Phoenix before--just up and moved here a dozen years back--and lucked out in Phoenix by living in a fabulous area which is just 8-10 blocks away from a dicey area….and when you get outta the scary streets, turn a corner or two, you're into another great locale. I'm hoping it's that way in GA.

The value for the dollar out there (as regards the house/property combination) is VERY hard to resist. But like any place, that fab house--once you've bought it and started living there--could well prove to be a nightmare and feel unsafe. A chance a lot of people wind up taking when moving to a part of the country they've never been before.

As far as that kitchen goes, I'd like to see it with a great 60s pure white/semi gloss linoleum sheet floor--keep the dark cabinets and just add in my black and aluminum appliances from the 70s and 80s

That's a lovely house, very spacious! I've never been a fan of coppertone, so your appliances would be better looking in it. I love the bathrooms and the tiles in the hallway. And ofcourse the basement is a big bonus!

 

[tolivac]

VERY NICE PLACE!!!!I could adapt!For 1973 that kitchen is in immaculate condition!Do like the SIMPLE furnishings.Basement is nice-bet that piano is going to be there forever!Hope you can play and like piano music.Hope the water stains on the ceiling tiles in the basement isn't an ongoing condition.The building inspector should be able to tell you.

Can't imagine that selling for 161k 35 years ago...methinks either a misplaced 1 in the price or misstated date.

 

[tomturbomatic]

Beautimous

That wonderful Frigidaire oven with the smaller second oven is faboo. I love the cedar closet in the basement, too.

What is the address? What is the city quadrant or town where this is located? This is expensive construction.

 

[philcoford]

nice house

I like the open layout and setting. The link shows it is under contract and that may be why it shows so many days online. I hope they don't gut the place to make it all HGTV Updated..
