    A well preserved MCM ranch a few blocks away from me.

      I can't find anything not to like in that house.

        I know. The greenhouse, while a bit on the worn side, was the icing on the cake for this gardener.

          I like it. Would have to make a few changes. Would start with the basement carpet.

            That would diminish the "classic" factor. And increase the "in good taste" factor.

                I could live in that, except for the basement carpet. We had a wet bar like that in our basement when we moved into our house.

                  Lots to like here but too much wood paneling for me.

                    There are two wet bars in the house, one in the basement and one off the family room. Those MCMers loved to party!

                      I looked up the obit for the owner (the listing said it was an estate sale). I can just imagine the parties that were held in that house.

                      Wheeling Township Cemetery, where he is buried, is a little cemetery just a block from his house.
