The outdated style I dislike most is the decade of the 70s. This home is an example of why. (I bought an 80s house and it was so dated that I couldn't afford to redo it, and that's the problem you have to consider when buying, even if the price is lower.) This one, in Ottawa, Illinois, was built in 1970 & has 4bds, 3ba, $325K.

Okay, this is just silly. Cut the hedges back, the lions look like they're in giant green butt cracks. Let's go inside- I hope you enjoy this 70s throwback.

The oval leaded glass door with 2 side lights were the gold standard, as well as the pony wall planter, spindles and red carpet.

The 70s introduced large stone fireplace walls. In contrast, there was fussy, fancy, metal (or plastic) grill work, as seen in the doorway.

The 70s changed the color of wood- it became extremely dark, through the magic of Jacobean stain. The style included faux brick (which was not yet perfected and looked so faux), carpeted kitchens and ornate cabinetry with plate rails.

But the most distinctive feature was the kitchen lamp post. Even if I gutted this kitchen, I would keep that lamp post, b/c it's such a classic. I've even seen them built into the middle of kitchen tables. (Note the faux brick backsplash.)

Variations of this beloved bedroom set were in so many homes. Even my grandparents had one (and I inherited it). Plus portraits of the children on black velvet.

Wallpaper, fancy and flocked, even if it didn't match the style of the room.

There was a Toile Revival, too.

And, big, dark heavy furniture with fancy foo-foo ruffled fabric or fabric with eyelet borders. Notice the architectural detail of the bed on a platform with a heating vent for practicality.

This fireplace was redone- they removed the mantle, in favor of a shelf, and framed in the hearth so they could display statuary.

It was also the advent of the wall-to-wall carpeted bathroom and tub draperies.

Note that red shag carpeting fades over time, and also pills, balls up, and irretrievably matts down. Check out what looks like a lighted nativity scene in the fireplace.

Ah, the manufactured "colonial" creations. Hanging metal fireplaces adorned with eagles and sofas with spindles, pleated skirts, and pastoral or historic Americana scenes. Wherever there was an opening, put up a fancy railing and/or panel.

What a bonus! A home beauty salon! Also, note the textured paneling and another popular feature- jigsaw cutout wood valances on everything from the kitchen cabinets to windows, to walls. (Also, there's a good example of how red carpet fades, in the corner.)

Some outer details (note the cutout valance even on the roof of the house).

I didn't expect a farm, but there're definitely barns and a silo on the property.

3.67 acres of land.

Another little experiment with my Agfa Box, but because of the film being expired for almost 30Years now, the results were underexposed and yellow.

In the end I digitally edited them to death and that‘s the result 😂😂

It was a ISO 100 medium format film by Kodak from somewhen about 1990 cause it expired in 1994.

Unusual home custom-built for the current owner in 1974. Nothing has been changed since. It’s located in Tigard, Oregon and listed for $680K. 

The entrance. If they didn’t put a statue there, the double doors would open to reveal nothing of interest but a wall and a door.

Two staircases lead to the upper floor.

On the ground floor, however, is a family/dining room with a large fireplace.

A dated kitchen is off the dining room. It’s not mid century modern, it’s just ornate 70s cabinetry, lighting & countertops. Needs a backsplash, also.

So, the living/dining room and kitchen are downstairs.

Let’s go upstairs. There appears to be a sitting room between the 2 levels.

There is another living room up here, another big fireplace and a large bar.

The main bd. is totally original. It’s 1 of 3 bds.

Matching en suite is roomy, but the carpet in front of the tub has to go. There are 2.5 baths.

The house has a lovely garden on a wooded lot.
