Cute! I actually like the steel cabinets, and willing to bet that house is better built than anything built in the last several decades. Although the tile in the kitchen is probably a nightmare to keep the grout clean. Our cabinets are dark wood and in terrible shape. Refinished once ~20 years ago. Hubby wants to re-finish again but I want to paint them so we have done neither.

I love those steel kitchen cabinets...reminds of the time in America when we actually made things. There were many manufacturers in what is now the Rust Belt.

I still have the formica counters with the stainless steel trim. I don't remember my house having the tile on the kitchen walls when I was growing up, but my next door neighbor had it on his walls.

All the houses in the neighborhood are made of brick with plaster walls and we all have hardwood floors. I would imagine the floors under the carpeting in that house for sale are in perfect condition.

The sale price for the house was a little on the low side. Most of the houses in that zip code are now selling for over $200,000. Considering the prices around the country, it is a true bargain.

Yes - we made things....and they LASTED! We had a maytag washer that my hubby's grandma gave him (used) when he graduated college and got his first apartment, it was made sometime in the 60's. We had it until about 2005 when it finally bit the dust as parts were no longer available.
