The house has been untouched since 1975 and it’s no wonder that some things need to be repaired and restored. “However, it’s pretty incredible what good shape it’s in. The first walkthrough was unreal… we had seen this house online and had poured over pictures, but nothing compares to actually being here. We’re still discovering fun details about the home.”

Alysha told us that even though the purple shag carpet is striking and the original owners took “great care of their home,” the carpet is “well past” its expiration date and needs to be changed.

“It looks perfect in pictures, but there are a lot of faded areas and some mold issues in the bathrooms/bedrooms. With two toddlers and a pup, I feel like I’m always vacuuming and losing things in it! We’ll be replacing it with era-appropriate Forbo Marmoleum. Something that’s easier to clean and more durable,” she explained.
