This 1952 Mid Century Modern is another plan offering an optional facade, an indication of how architects envisioned the new modern age while acknowledging that home buyers tended to stick with the tried-and-true. Of course I went for the "contemporary" design. You gotta love those clerestory windows!
I stayed pretty close to the plan, swapping out closets for dressers and getting rid of the basement stairs. (I guess basements were reassuring in the nuclear age.) Thanks to an unnecessary linen closet, I was able to enlarge the bath. And I widened the entrance to avoid potential bottle necking.
I also added a carport... because I had this really cool pink-on-black '55 Chevy Convertible, and I had to park it somewhere!
Pink was a popular color in the 50s. In one of the areas where I grew up I knew of three pink houses built in the late 40s-early 50s whose owners (and others) all agreed they had always been that color. Try as I might, I couldn't paint this house pink, even though it ceaselessly whispered to me, "I'm pink! I'm pink!" We finally compromised (the house and I), and the interior is thoroughly pink - well, as thoroughly as I could make it without crying.
It's a 3BD/1BA home with an open living-dining area, kitchen, carport, patio and pool. I made one of the bedrooms into a den. I'm not sure what they call it these days. A study? A man cave? But I figured, if a man's refuge from the world is his home, then his refuge from a pink home is his den.
I played this lot with a family of three Sims. It needs a lot of garden care because of all the trees, but otherwise it's an easy lot to play.
Enjoy!
Lot Size: 3x3
Lot Price: ยง83,122
