2263 Country Club Drive

Circa 1947 $145,000

Greater McGehee

Great bones and unique custom 1950's features make this home on desirable Country Club Drive a must see. Built in 1947, this three bedroom and two bath home has a traditional layout and beautiful detail in woodwork and built-in cabinetry. In the mid 1950's, the owner'/builder (noted for building Normandale Mall) added a fantastic den and playroom addition for his growing family. The vaulted ceiling, cork floor, and terrazzo fireplace are eye catching, and '50's fans will love the vintage "Brady-Bunch" staircase in the back of the room leading to the huge bonus/playroom above the two car garage. The hidden gem of this property is that it backs up to a private city park, shared only by the homes on its perimeter. With a playground for kids and large open field, it is a great spot for sporting events and leisure.

3061 Pelzer Avenue

Rosemont Heights

First time on market in 54 years! This great home has been loved and enjoyed by the same owner since 1958. Constructed in 1952 of quality materials, it is one of the most pure untouched mid century ranch homes I've been in in years. Just to mention a few of the great period correct details include, open plan, not laminate but real hardwood floors, rock planter room divider and rock fireplace, unpainted pine sliding kitchen cabinets, lots of rich unpainted knotty pine paneling and stained unpainted trim including french doors, colorful 50's style tiled bath, built in ironing board, and built in phone shelf. Raised conventional foundation combined with huge floor length windows that soak the interior with light give you the feeling of being in a lofty woody cabin. Few but large rooms give you the sense of much more than the economically to heat and cool 1444 square feet. Fully fenced yard for children and pets has a great spot for a deck off the den and kitchen. Seller has freshly repainted exterior windows and most of interior. Nice 90' wide lot keeps you from being right on top of your neighbors. Enjoy the comforts of the attached double carport with entrance to kitchen and all else this wonderful house has to offer for under 90k. Forgot to mention the washer and dryer which are often outside in a storage room on a house of this vintage are inside off the kitchen.
