    Nice house. Thank you for showing it. That sunroom floor is the old pavers that were originally the patio. The original owners changed a few things over the years as would be normal. Oddly it looks like the second owners touched nothing!

    The curved ceiling is called cove. My mom would have loved the foyer wallpaper! We had similar in our house, plus the see through drapes were the thing. Olive or avocado green was very popular. Love these retro tours, reminds me of my childhood.

    Those 50s houses really had a feel all their own, i believe the sun room/solarium was a add on, especially with the stairway to the cellar, and the step down from the kitchen. the sunburst clocks are in fact collectables now. Bull nose counter in the kitchen, window seat, the bias checkerboard floor. The raised area in the storage may have been an enclosed soil bank, many homes of that period & before had them. the old owners must have really loved it there. Good catch Ethan.

    I really liked this house. Wouldn’t need to change much except some carpet and window treatments. Love the fireplace and the bathroom. Wonder if the fridge was red to match the sink. Really cool kitchen. Would love to have the vintage clock in basement and a few of the light fixtures too. My nightmare would be to be stuck in that storage room that has the crawl space. Loved the wallpapers. Enjoyed this exploration. Keep safe and keep making these great videos.

    House #1 was updated sometime in the 1970’s Ethan. Those green bathroom fixtures and the green drapes and the green carpeting were all the rage in the ‘70’s. Avocado & Celery green we’re all the rage. My Great Aunt lived @2550 Lake Shore Drive in Chicago & she bought slime green deep pile carpet for the living room. My mom had those light plates. You can still find similar ones at Lowes in the United States. Love the multi-colored tile in the basement. I love all the time & care you take going through these homes Ethan. You do a really GREAT Job documenting these homes. 👍🏻

I just about sob when I see those draperies on traverse rods as I am in search of some for the picture window in our '55 ranch house. They are impossible to find! Also .. that clock would go for $100's at an MCM show. Thanks for appreciation and enthusiasm for these gorgeous homes.

    Hi Ethan
    I like this house. The kitchen was really retro with that black and white floor. I love that
    sunroom, it’s so big and roomy. I like the entry wallpaper. The basement was creepy
    looking. The only thing I saw wrong with this house is the mold in the basement. It’s a
    shame that they have to demo this nice house. Looking forward to seeing the house
    next to this one. Until then stay safe and well.

Loved that bathroom(same coloring in 1of our bathrooms-the other was blue ) Our home is still lived in, only the 2nd owner. I won’t go on & bore everyone, but it really took me back. What a shame it won’t be saved. I loved it

    What a lovely unique gem of a house. I remember seeing the red horse curtains a few places when I was a little girl. Also I remember a couple of our neighbors had the sunburst clock over their living room mantels when I was little. That would be roughly 1965-1975. The kitchen is definitely very cool. Another great find Ethan. Thank you for the tour.

    The entry wallpaper is pure 1970s; the kitchen was more 1980s, when white/black decor was the fad. growing up in a 1950s ranch home, I don't recall ours, or any of our neighbors using wallpaper, that was something our grandparents used to cover up cracks and defects on walls, so boomers, buying their first homes, went the opposite direction, no wallpaper, no two-story homes, modern furniture. Every generation tries to be distinctive from their parents, totally changing architecture was one way. That basement floor though, pure 50s "modern", kinda liked it lol. Great video as usual, thanks!

The sunroom was awesome, and really loved the large windows in the living room, and the kitchen was really nice and design was great, but I'll be honest, black tiles are not one of my favorites; there are so many colors and options back then, that I probably would have went with something more colorful. The bathroom fixtures were awesome also, and the laundry room was so very cool, with the wash tub! I also loved the special little mid-century decor touches, like the front door handle, and the little sunburst design etched in the glass on the bathroom medicine cabinet, and sunburst style clock in the basement as well, so very sweet! 😍 Enjoyed as always! 😃🤘✌️

    Such a nice house. Love the kitchen except for red plate cover. Developers need to go away. Sad.

    I initially thought you'd missed that door of the kitchen, but no I should've known my boy Ethan wouldn't forget. Lovely features in this one! Ty
