I noticed that too...

perhaps that would explain the over abundance of foliage and such in the front of the house?
 
I think the DW is a Custom or Imperial

It looks like it has a timer knob on the left. Looks like square buttons, too. An 18, maybe?

floors

Charles, I'm not much for woord floors, namely because they are not nearly as much fun to vacuum. However, I will agree the floors in this home look pretty nice.
They would be original to the house too. Back in the 60's Centex put a wood floor down(parquet usually) and then carpeting over it in many of their homes.
I love the kitchen, SS appliances that were well made and not crap! This appears to be mostly original, vintage 1966-67 with a 70's DW. Brand new this kitchen included a Waste King-Universal cooktop and wall oven, dishwasher, and disposal. For whatever reason, the DW's did not last very long at all and were quickly replaced. The other stuff was good, and did last.
To me the DW would either be a 17 or 18, I can't tell. I am so tempeted to call my realtor just to go have a look see in person!
 
Jeff that looks like a really neat home, I think you should go and take a look, you just never know.
 
I hope there are more upper cabinets somewhere. Otherwise, cabinet space is pretty pathetic in the photo view. Jeff, I think you've seen enough Waste Kings and Thermadore DWs to understand why most didn't laste very long, rust!!
 
I agree Bob,

That kitchen is lacking in some cabinet space... I do like the look though.
I can't provide a closeup of the oven or cooktop, but this was the disposal which would have been originally installed in said kitchen. I had a few friends from church that lived in this neighborhood, and pretty much all the way thru high school these disposals were working and would take just about anything. This was Waste King's BOL disposal, and it was very well made.

BTW, My aunt's house doesn't have any curtains.

Not only does this seem like an energy-inefficient idea, but I pity her poor neighbors should they happen to look in that direction at the wrong time.

I've been to Elk Grove Village a few times. It's not quite like my idea of a village, and I didn't see a single Elk or Grove while I was there. I did stay in an excellent hotel though, so I guess that's something.

Remember, in real estate it's all location, location, location. And right now it seems that the culture Elk Grove and Rolling Meadows is changing quite quickly. Los Mexicanos vienen.

But that is a nice house. From the photos it appears to have been well maintained.
 
Window Treatments ????.

I'm with you Greg. Not a big fan of window coverings. I guess I'm not real modest. My backyard is fairly private so I don't feel compelled to "close up." Curtains can help with with controlling heat, cold, light, but that's about it. I hate the feeling of being closed in. I guess I'm more of an outdoor person. I really like to connected visually to the outside. However, a vista would be nice like say maybe the foothills of a small mountain range or being on top of a hill with a view of rolling hills. And we deam on and on and on ...

So Jeff, I've got to ask. Are you and Michael thinking of selling both your places and getting a new one! If you are, I think that's really cool. Now, I haven't seen Michael's place except for a few photo but it does look very nice, and in a nice neighborhood. Whatever ... have fun.

We haven't talked for a while. I'll try calling tomorrow later in the day ... it is Friday. Talk with you soon.

well

I'm not really house hunting(too seriously) and yes the paln I Michael and I will combine households into his place in Joliet. Its always fun to look though, and I really like this style of house.
Here's one more pic of the Elk Grove house, it does look very nice and taken care of!
