Fifty living

I have a new listing coming up in the Sunnyvale area. What a great gem of a house, with wonderful large windows that make the place to bright and breezy.

One of my pet peaves when I came to the US was that a lot of the homes do not have living rooms with overhead lights. There must have been a time when having lamps was considered 'cool' or 'novel'. I find it dark and inconvenient. This home has large windows from the ground up. Not only does it give a light and breezy appearance it also saves you having to turn on your lights when you don't need to.

This little gem also has wonderful hardwood floors under the carpet. Currently only one room has the hardwood floor on show - so you know that the others are going to be gorgeous because they have been protected by carpet for years. Again another fad that came into being; cover the hardwood floors.

There is a definate "Eichler" feel about this little gem.

ahh the past ... the wonderful fifties and sixties ... don't you just love it.
