Meanwhile, in other time capsule news, reader Lisa spotted this one and writes:
Hi! …I don’t even know if time capsule covers it. This house must have actually been buried in the ground since the mid 70s and only recently unearthed….The light fixtures in the bathroom. The raised platform and the wallpaper in the yellow bedroom. The matching curtains and bedspread in the other bedroom. The matching WALLPAPER AND CURTAINS in the other, other bedroom. Are you kidding me? This house is mint-in-box. I’m always finding great ideas through your site, I thought I’d return the favor.
Cheers, Lisa
Incredible house, Lisa, I WANT IT. Consider the favor: Returned! Many thanks.
Picasaweb album – many additional views.
OMG, wallpaper-tastic! I so want a lower level foyer and a “pit”! Thanks for the share!
Wow…I’m going to have to ride past that one! The yellow bathroom and the bedroom are amazing….and the pit! And the stairs! And…and…I want to buy it and leave everything just like it is. : )
The pit! The stairs! W O W! Thanks for sharing.
I want a sunken tub!
This is a real step-back in time! I grew up in Nashville and know the general area (Bellevue) where this house is located. Bellevue saw a lot of new home construction in the 1970s, but I can’t believe how preserved this home is. I noticed in the photos that the stainless steel fridge is not included in the sale. Good! Whoever buys it needs to install period appliances.
I can barely breathe this is such a heavenly find! Seriously, I am hyperventilating! I love this house, it’s simply orgasmic!
It’s amazing how we can think something is so awesome, that others find not-so-awesome. Apparently this is what the rest of the world thinks about time capsules. Case in point: http://lovelylisting.com/2010/01/guest-post-by-lynn.htm

I love yard sale-ing in Nashville–there are a lot of TC houses
to be had. I remember going in one that had green shag carpet
in almost every room & the shag threads were at least 6″ long.
It also had LSD trip-inspired wallpaper.
That’s gorgeous! Truly gorgeous!
Love it! The sunken bath, the built in couches in the lounge, the green carpet, the spiral staircase, the tiled floors, love it all!
What a find! So many lessons to be learned just by viewing the interior of this home…I too am out of breath! Thanks for sharing.
Oh this is amazing! And HUGE! So cool! Love the wallpaper, pit, carpeting, all! Oh and the bathroom, wow!
O My! The wall paper in the yellow bedroom…that bamboo type design, is making a comeback. I’ve noticed it on paper plates this year and had a minor flashback!
Yowza!
LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Great find. Thanks for sharing. Is this a celebs house? The pictures in “the pit” room look like it
This is the coolest house. I love the pit and the built in couches, the ‘pedestal’ for the master bed, and that bath! I love the open center of the house…looks like I’d hang out downstairs though, it’s the coolest!
wow i love 1968-76 int design s. just saw a one owner 1973 town house orig. builders model wall paper every where you looked. yellow shag carpet was sun faded but bright yellow where the bed and couch was true time warp it sold so you know what that means cheap k- mart home depot remudel
Wow! That is the coolest house ever!!! I remember now when I was younger I always dreamed of having a “sunk in” or pit living room! and the bedrooms are SO GREAT!! plus that sunkin bathtub!! I WANT it!!
Hello!!! I found my way to your site again today by searching Pearsall jacks coffee table and going off on the various links. The capsule photos are thrilling. I love this stuf.
I got the jacks coffe table at a yard sale for $15, perfect for my living room in my little ’89 townhouse because it’s open floor plan long narrow living/kitchen combo. I’d pictured a glass top coffee table for the space because glass would make it disappear and keep the visual space open, but this find was beyond my dreams!
I’m diggin’ the comments above about the pit etc, but haven’t looked at it yet.
Thank you for having such a great site with comments!
I’ll go look at the pit now……
O.m.god. Amazing! Heart attack amazing. That bathroom and that main bedroom…chills.
