The carpet and walls look like those in the den where I grew up, before we turned it into my bedroom and replaced the carpet with something more neutral brown. I was fine with the red but it was a rough shag that was in really poor shape. Then again, I suppose a good cleaning might have saved it and saved money but my mom was more the one dictating the style despite it being my room.
The whole house has some interesting choices, some of which work well together and others… not so much. Most of it would have cost a lot when it was done, and seems to have been very well cared for since.
It would make a cracking movie set, and I kind of hope the new owners do something sympathetic to it and keep the better bits, though that’s unlikely.
Can’t really imagine who would have lived here, other than that they’re probably in their late 80s now, and that they had at least three children. The ad said something which suggests the owner is a builder and that their building company built it.
