I could totally see myself buying and redoing that house just for the outside area.

I like the house itself and some of the mid century modern furnishings and I really love the pantry....that being said, not a fan of the wallpaper, carpeting and appliances, but I think the house has potential to be something amazing.

I love it! The landscaping and pantry are especially awesome! I actually really like the dining room table as well, and something about that pink bathroom appeals to me. If it could be used as a bathroom for my daughter, I'd totally keep it!
The carpet is bad, but I'd prefer to get rid of any sort of carpet in a newly purchased home anyway so no big deal. The wallpaper would by far be the hardest thing to deal with but otherwise the home looks like it's in MUCH better condition than my current home was when we bought it.

I expected to see Don Draper sitting in a chair smoking a cigarette.

As least it's pretty pristine.....like living in a time warp.....the kitchen looks okay, and the grounds are lovely.........not my style (I lived through the 70's), but awesome...

I actually kinda like the kitchen and living areas... the fireplace is gorgeous! (the carpeting, though, and the pink swirly vanities- blech!) The bedrooms don't feel quite retro enough to me to be cool, though-- they just seem sort of tired.

I'll admit I was a little disappointed. I was hoping to see a nice avocado green bathroom. Or maybe harvest gold.

It looks like my husband's grandmother's house in San Jose! They remodeled the house in the early 70's and it looks just like this house! So funny!

I'd be totally willing to bid on the plates in the pantry. It's got a funky sort of Brady Bunch vibe.....you half expect to see Alice in the kitchen pix.

I bought my house in 2002 because it was a well preserved 60 to 70s décor. My stuff is vintage and now retro is popular. I love it!! It makes me feel great. I always wanted to grow up in a house like mine (rough childhood) so it actually heals me. I collected the old vases and canisters and all that stuff for years, then moved it into my house and it was perfect. A lot of my things were given to me from my friends grandparents!! I am sad when I have to replace things! Now put me in a place with Granite countertops and that style and I get hives!!

I don't think the '70's were great for either fashion or decor. UGH. While my parents were very traditional decorators, our neighbors were TRENDY, and this reminds me so much of their house in the early to mid-seventies in Dallas, TX!

I am a true 70's child..(graduated high school in 1979)....that looks NOTHING like what we had in the '70's.

I'm shocked that a 3 bedroom house has a 6 car garage! Is that typical for the area?

OK, the indoor pool did it for me. I'd buy the house and gut it.

Other than seriously needing new floor coverings, that house is a beautiful treasure. Love the furniture.

It may be 70's but oh my goodness, what a beautiful and beautifully maintained home! Oh, the potential!! The grounds are absolutely lovely and the inside is easily updated.

The oven is the only appliance in the kitchen that looks original to me. The dishwasher, stove, vent hood, and fridge all look new. And they have a flat screen TV. I LOOOOOVE the indoor pool and the pantry and the grounds. I also love the windows in the living room. I'd buy it and remodel.

The landscaping is amazing, love the size of the kitchen, , and it clearly has amazing bones....but the carpet and wallpaper just hurt my eyes.

The room with the yellow wallpaper reminds me of the short story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman of the same name. That wallpaper would drive me mad.

I could totally overlook at the stuff for the views and grounds. My Lord it's awesome! That pink wallpaper is to die for.

That really is an amazing house! I wouldn't be able to live with the carpet or the wallpaper, but I could see myself living there.
