interesting Frigidaire wall oven and cooktop

If it wasn’t for that Kenmore laundry set, this place would be literally a time capsule from 1962!

That was their classic 32 inch cooktop stamping which they made past the sale to WCI.

I love it when people actually take care of their stuff. Seems to have died off with the depression era folks.

My devices are too old to open the link. Or, more specifically, I can't see the pictures in the link.
But, from what you posted, that kitchen looks sweet!
Is it an "eat in" kitchen, with room for a table and chairs, or is that about it in your pictures?
Also, is that a not very desirable part of Florida? Around here, a 2,200 square foot house would be listed for a lot more than that! Especially with a lake nearby. Unless it was in an area where you're afraid to go out of the house.

I guess you could call it an eat in kitchen since there’s that bar with two stools. But no, there’s no space for a table. There is a separate dining room outside the pass through over the bar.

Yes the price does seem a little low. My guess is it’s due to the house being dated and I didn’t see anything about the roof or hvac being updated.

I’d say they area is ok, it’s definitely a safe area but it does have some homes that are a little run down around there. Not one of my favorite areas though, but there are some neat older homes through there of this same era.

Interesting construction - plaster walls with no trim/casing on the doors.  The plaster rolls into the door frame.  You don't see much of that these days.  And check out the light fixture in the dining room!

 

The square footage of the house has grown substantially with two additions.  There's an enclosed porch/Florida Room across the back and the front.  I tend to suspect that the one across the front was originally a single carport.

Can't see the cooktop but the oven is a Frigidaire Flair-basic non- stainless interior model. Still a great baking oven!

I'm sure you're right about the price being on the low side, in part because of the house being "dated".
It's funny that, while that would be a downside for a lot of people; if I was in the market for a house, well preserved, "dated" would be a selling point.
It was one of the reasons why we bought our house. Granted, ours is a 1965 house, and the dated decor is from when it was updated in the late '80s/early '90s. It would have been even better if there were 1960s features still present.

Thanks all for hijacking the thread!

I didn’t notice that on the doors having the plaster trim less returns, good eye there, that’s definitely not something you see done often.

Barry, perhaps this link will work

That looks to be a well constructed house. The tile in the bathrooms appears to be a "mud job" - tile set in a thick mortar bed, instead of adhesive. It's possible the door and window frames are steel, and therefore why the plaster is done that way, especially if it is over concrete block. That method of construction is common in Florida. I've also seen it done up here in commercial buildings such as hospitals and hotels.
