That's VERY, VERY close to what

danemodsandy wants. The chrome trim strip atop door edges differs slightly. I LOVE those Handles. Amana knew how to do that very well.
 
Yeah, the seller's on the good stuff if he thinks he's getting $600 for that.  Are gas fridges fairly uncommon?  I don't see too many of them listed.
 
50s/60s Servels

always seem to pull fat money when they're good ones. I didn't even know Amana made those things in the 70s. We had a 1950-something servel up in our mountain cabin. It was sooo remote, that propane was a must. Those things were quite a big deal in the 50s...and a lot of 'em seem to run forever and ever. They're REALLY quiet.
 
And yet, many people don't want anything to do with vintage appliances.  It confounds me.  They're so well made compared to today's stuff.
 
Aren't those called Sheeple?

That lot who cannot form opinions of his/her own without first consulting the great media and fad police? "I want that cuz HGTV says its the next hot thang". Oy...
 
That it is.

There was one particular episode that put me off it for good. Was sort of the time of everything IKEA being "the thing" . Ikea were heavily pushing those spun aluminium tubular door and drawer pulls...you know...the long / wide rods. Full length. Anyway, this one particular episode was a kitchen "makeover". Every. Single. Door. Drawer/flat surface had one of those attached to it. I cannot deal with a room being a total shrine to a single design element. All I could think was "If you need that many grab bars, you are quite possibly too old or to inept to be trusted with a hot stove and gas". It was just OVER done. Badly. Have not seen HGTV in at least 6 years now.
 
That sounds about right.  What offends me is when they rip out a perfect vintage bathroom or kitchen because *gasp* it looks so dated!  There's plenty that can be done with a space to freshen it up without sacrificing the original design elements of the space.  That, and if one is offended by a mid century bathroom, why buy a mid century home?!
 
You said it. Want cookie cutter / homogenized??

move into a planned community with retail malls adjacent. There is ENDLESS amounts of housing there for you to try your Design on a Dime theories and scrap booking rooms... Don't mess about with good period styles. They're special.
 
We have a very expensive neighborhood of McMansions down the road from here and it's like driving past 50 shades of beige.  AND the siding is already buckling.  The new construction around here has been rushed so badly; I would never buy one of those houses.  Plus they have a $350/month HOA fee.
 
Construction quality has taken a dive...

all over this country apparently. It's a relatively recent thing, too. Since about early 90s. Gotten quite outta hand. So much money to buy a place that needs loads of maintenance in the first 3-5 months of residency.
 
$595 for a LP fridge???Guess that seller has been huffing too much propane!If you live in that housing district--"Beige Buckle side Estates"-What services do you get with that $350 HOA fee--RIPOFF-And they tell YOU how to live-makes me want that farmhouse-yes vintage-in the country out here in the middle of nowhere.
 
Sorry this isn't about gas fridges-but the Ryan homes when I lived in the DCarea-there were lots of complaints about their quality-and I thought Levitt homes were bad!Instead of Bulle Rock-rename the place as I said--"Beige Buckle siding Estates!"Don't think that place is for me-sounds like a "patio" home community-planned,very small lots-little privacy-and high prices for stuff you could do yourself.A freind of mine out here lives in a simialr place.He wants to move-but can't sell his house.No one wants to buy it.He is getting tired of the high HOA fees and the home payments.And these are also called "Retirement" communities-fine if the person on fixed income can afford it.
Guess back to the fridge-Still think the sellers price is too high and he needs to stop huffing propane.
