There's so much to comment on... I don't even know where to start. The landscaping and the views might help me over come my aversion for much of the decor though!

Good lord........yes, well.............some of it is kitsch in a great, retro way, some really takes me back and some is just hideous. Fascinating!

Ok, before yesterday I might have agreed with u. But after seeing the neon/cave Poseidon house I'm not that horrified. Other than the kitchen and bathroom new paint and carpet would deal with it. There's no demo so you can get right to the refinishing.
Nice views, beautiful indoor pool.

I kind of like the big daisy wallpaper. The bones of that house are awesome and the view is great.

Was that a snake on the wall in the kitchen?
The outside is beautiful and inside could be after you get rid of all the wallpaper and weird carpet.

Love the mauve bathroom counter with coordinating cabinet!
Seriously, that pantry is as big as my whole kitchen.
They must have my Dad's philosophy of if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

They must have gotten quite a deal on that funky swirly carpet - it's EVERYWHERE! The storage in the "dish room" is awesome.

So...forgive an ignorant girl who lives in a world where it is hot all the darn time, but why the indoor pool?
Based on the landscaping, which seems to be more tropical, why would you need an indoor pool?

Wow. You know, in a way, it's really kind of amazing. But looking past all of the cosmetic changes I would want to make, the views are lovely. As for the pool, I think people just like a climate-controlled, private location sometimes. If nothing else I wouldn't have to worry about burning every darn time I went swimming.  |

Wow, it appears to be so well cared for. I think I could deal with just about all of it except the carpet. The carpet makes me itchy just looking at it.

I may or may not have a south Florida relative with similar place. Instead of entry wishing well they have 70's sunken living room. Their pool is only half indoors, other half has one of those Florida "cages" around it to keep out pine needles and palmettos. Kitchen's a dead ringer, those old fridges never die, unlike today!
If I had means I buy it for tiered deck and garden alone! I'd definitely keep the pink bath, the kitsch is high with that one.

Think of the extra income you could earn by renting the house out to TV and movie studios scouting a location for their 70s themed show or movie!
For those views I could overlook so much. I kind of like the daisy paper, though.

The lawn, views and bones of the house are fabulous! I'd take a chance on it. Once you took out the 70s and updated things it would be a beautiful house!

Oh my gosh, that house was just hideous. The thing is, I can't believe it is really in such good condition given how old everything must be.

If you've seen any of the fashion trends for the Fall you will notice that the 70's are back. Keeping that in mind this is very in style right now. Honestly I lived through the 70's and I don't really remember decor like that. The kitchen maybe, but not the wall paper. Honestly the carpet doesn't look that bad, at least it is neutral colors. If it had been the yellow and orange shag that was in our old house then I would have been more "horrified"! |

If I ignore the decor, I actually really love it. Unlike the Poseidon house, this is one I would have no problem buying and renovating . |
