They put a small bedroom in and left the biggest area still unfinished. I hope the people who are the next buyer really loves this part of the house and fix it up the way they want. Tim Hi,

My mom and dad bought their home in Levittown, PA and the upstairs is still half finished. They put a small bedroom in and left the biggest area still unfinished. I hope the people who are the next buyer really loves this part of the house and fix it up the way they want.

I have not looked at everything yet, but I assume you are aware of Atomic Ranch magazine? It is nice to see other people who respect mid century homes, and not wantinf to gut and redo them just because they are old. I recently bought a 1960 stucco/stone ranch from the 2nd owner. It has the original birch woodwork and kitchen cabinets with the pink oven, stove top and sink. The main bath has 2 shades of blue tile with a pink sink, toliet and sunken pink tub! It has a sunken dining room, stone planter and great stone fireplace. The owner's daughter told me realtors thought she should paint the woodwork and gut the kitchen and bathrooms, thank goodness she did not, I would not have bought it. There are some great houses in my area, but most of the owners do not understand how great they are and are replacing doors and redoing baths and kitchens, ugh. Well, thanks for the site!
