This bizarre blast from the past is for sale in Illinois. Take a look around
A unique mid-century modern walkout ranch built in 1960 has landed on the real estate market in Des Plaines, Illinois, for $850,000.
Not only does the main, 8,578-square-foot home still have the feel of a property decorated in the swinging ’60s, but there are also a few surprises within its walls.
The five-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom house is on 4 acres and has an open-concept floor plan, which allows for a lot of natural light to flow through. Features, according to the listing on Realtor.com, include:
Two primary bedrooms
Private first-floor office
Two kitchens
Indoor grill
Six-car heated garage
There is also a 2,850-square-foot guest house and a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment that has its own entrance.
The wild combination of colors splashed on the interior walls intertwines with the tile and shag-carpeted floors, while a “dead and blackened indoor tree” mesmerizes near the staircase with an iron railing, Realtor.com says.
Houses with a technicolor throwback feel have been hot on the market lately, like this bright Florida home that has the look and feel of something out of “The Jetsons,” or this Texas mansion with an interior like a “’90s teen sitcom,” McClatchy News reported.
Des Plaines is about 19 miles northwest of Chicago.
