Ah, why can't I find that here? (MCM house tour)

[downtoearth]

This house was for sale in Kansas for $200k in December.

I never find anything where I want to live for a reasonable price or with as much style.

I live in KC! Not that part of the city though, I would go for a little bit more here. It's a cute house. We have a neighborhood full of homes like that by me. Listing are gone within a day or two of listing. Though they have a private lake which I am sure helps.

Private lakes totally hurt resell, I bet.

I'm a Kansas snob, so I wouldn't live in Missouri.

I remember driving past this one a lot as a kid and I'm so sad it's gone!

Here's some more. I'm not surprised that they're all in Roeland Park/Mission.

I love that area but we didn't want to change elementary school so we had to stick to Shawnee and rock the house from 1996.

Brass will come back in style someday.....right??

My dad grew up there. Unfortunately, I was a WyCo kid lol. Hey, it's okay, my introduction to fashionable housing was just.. slow lol.

I remember the geodesic dome on I-35 and Lamar too. My grandparents live on the other side of I-35 and we would always go to that QuikTrip right there for gas before we went to church.

I miss home and I'm not even that far away!

Oh man, now that is what I want.

We had a MCM store just open near us and the stuff is so, so tacky. Like, none of it looks like the pieces in that home.

This is sad. Houses like that never sell for a reasonable price around here.
