Got to see one of the coolest houses in Ann Arbor today while at an Estate Sale. A Mid-Century Modern house built in 1965 by the well known architect James Livingston...1922-75. Fabulous house!
If you scroll through the pics on the Realtor link you'll see the 12.5' orange sectional and the turquoise patio furniture we bought.
The house did need some...
The house did need some updating. Quite a bit of wallpaper needs to be removed as well as carpet...there is some grass reed paper I'd keep though. It's typical of Estate Sale houses which are lived in by original occupants to need loads of updates. I like them that way though...leaves it open to do as little as actually needed to update the house while keeping the original character intact. The cabinets were in excellent shape. The kitchen looked mostly like it needed new appliances. The house was lived in by Livingston for the first year and then sold to the people who owned it up until recently. I'm hoping the young couple who are buying it don't go overboard and paint or remove the paneling.
There is a 15+' Cado Wall Unit in the one bedroom that I tried to get the son to sell, but he mentioned it sold with the house.
I'm heading back this morning with hopes of 50% Sunday and landing some metal sculptures and maybe a couple other pieces I saw...if they're still available that is.
