1950 dream home

One of the benefits of being a Realtor is helping people find their dream home. It doesn’t matter what stage of life they are in – a 20-something looking for their first condo, a young couple in search of a house, newcomers relocating to Seattle, empty nesters looking to downsize – Mr. Roger enjoys being a part of the home-buying process with these folks, at the cusp of a beautiful relationship between the occupants and the structure. Dorothy was right…there’s no place like home.
Mr. Roger is feeling a bit nostalgic (okay, when am I not?!?) for the days of post-war glory and hope, when cities were busting at the seams, spreading out and creating neighborhoods full of new developments. Let’s take a trip on the Internet highway for a look at the American Dream of the mid-century…home.

Oh I love them all!
The first home looks very much like many in my neighborhood, built mostly in the 50′s and early 60′s. I am working on a post right now (for my blog) about the mid-century home styles in my neighborhood. Luckily no one reported me for taking photos while on my morning walk
Thanks for sharing.
I love the old style architecture and it is so true – there is NO place like home!
Indeed! Especially when it’s a mid-century home!
The first one looks like my house! Love the brick!
