Original turquoise 1960s Geneva Kitchen Cabinets (Pittsburgh, PA) $2500

[spacepig]

I like the breakfast bar.

"These are original 1960s Geneva cabinets. Original factory turquoise paint and name plate (pictured above the doors under the sink) and original metal shelves. No scratches or rust.
Also will include the original Formica breakfast bar and metal leg along with the oven hood.
After doing research, most people sell these upwards of $5,000-$10,000 but we really would like these out of our house so selling these for a steal!

The sink portion - 67w x 36h
Each long upper - 18w x 30h
Short uppers together - 42w x 18h
Depth - They all sit flush at 13inches deep"

Awesome cabinets!
Think, somebody lived 60 years with the refrigerator in front of the door. That would drive me crazy.

The original ref fit in much closer to the wall than the oversized replacement.

I highly doubt that the fire inspector would have approved the placement of that refrigerator.

Am guessing when house was built

Or kitchen designed fridges were smaller. Previous owner or who ever shoved that huge fridge just inside kitchen door obviously wanted something with greater capacity.

Other than that having fridge just inside kitchen door is or was fairly common design back in day. It allowed Madame to come in through driveway/car port and put groceries away quickly. That and or when goods were delivered (in proper homes always to the back/service door, *LOL*) again things could go straight into fridge.

Am not sure that huge fridge just inside kitchen door is legal. Unless am mistaken that door cannot be opened fully because of huge object behind, and that impedes entering and exiting. In case of a fire or other emergency this could be a serious issue.

Based on the woodwork and door hardware, I'd say that house was built between the mid 20's and late 30's. Agree that kitchen layout could be better.

On Another Note

I was watching the show "Good Bones" on HGTV last night and the demo crew at one of the houses being renovated was beating the hell out of one of these metal Kitchen Cabinet setups and i was cringing! They looked like they were in very good shape but they are trash now.
