Sometimes you see traces of what an older home used to look like through the slick veneer of fresh paint and new flooring. Perhaps the cabinets in the kitchen get a refacing and the paneling in a bedroom is stripped and recoated, but under decades of haphazard updating is a mystery.
If the anthropologist in you is always curious about these things, head over to 6509 Prince in Caruth Terrace on Sunday to check out a 1955 ranch in original condition for $334,900.
This house has four good-sized bedrooms and three baths, and totals more than 2,500 square feet. Other than your typical replacements — flooring, windows, sprinkler system, and I think one appliance — this home looks just like it did when it was purchased almost 60 years ago.
Each of the bathrooms, which have the original Daltile of course, have a different color scheme. The largest bathroom is a lovely combination of pink and gray, while the other bathrooms feature a more neutral cream and a pea soup/evergreen scheme.
In the backyard you’ll see a built-in grill and a carport with storage, but no garage. Want to see it in person? Head over to 6509 Prince on Sunday, Sept. 30, between 1 and 3 p.m.
Restoration? Heck, I’d live in it just the way it is!
Because I have so much free time for a restoration???!!! This looks like one hell of a project…
Cassie, we can help you with the restoration
Oh I love this! That pink bathroom tile that is likely mudded in won’t even come off with a Class 4 Tornado! But that fake marble sink is a big "BAHHHH"! I want my daughter to see this house. I think a restoration would be so fun. And I love to think back to what folks were thinking, doing, imagining back when they lived in these homes. Eisenhower was president?
