Mid Century Modern Style ( Googie )

Managing Real Estate Broker with Tim Riddle Broker Associate,Marsha Hardin Real Estate

How many of you like this style of home ? Big one story sprawling homes with open floorplans.Ones that you think of Matt Helm walking through the living room. What a shame to see  many of them being torn down to make room for Macmansions, ( big ugly new homes.) Seems peoples imagination and desire to preserve class is out the window.( No pun intended ) Thanks to the buyers that have restored some of the classic homes back to the original style.

I love Mid Century Modern style homes.  There's a certain comfortableness and style in these homes that makes them feel like homes to me instead of merely houses.

I love that style, Tim. The problem many of my buyers have with it is the ceilings seem too low and the homes are dark, since the windows are often smaller than newer homes. In San Antonio, a lot of the homes built in the 40's and 50's are now shaded by tall oaks and pecan trees. I love 'em. And I am so tired of the faux Mediterranean, "transitional" look.

Cheers,

Robin
