Deal Of The Week/House Porn: Musing In The Meadows
Dealbook Deluxe: 2008 list price: $515,000, now $379,000. Located in the Meadows, a couple streets south of the home where the Geis tragedy took place, the neighborhood is getting very hot and the home has true sixties sensibilities. Not that I’m trippin’ or anything, but I can see Twiggy in her micro-mini, hear the psychedelic music on the intercom. Memories of avocado and orange-shagadelic carpet whisper from the walls. This street was the 1963 Parade of Homes. What may be keeping her from being a bride: four levels, backs to Walnut Hill Lane, outdated kitchen, grandmotherly knick knacks. Let’s think outside the box here: the knick knacks can go to the Salvation Army and net you a nice deduction, plant some junipers across the rear yard fence, and go get some granite asap. There — any other questions?

I must confess I’m not a fan of old houses.
Candy, you may be hearing psychedelic music on the intercom, but I’m hearing Beatles’ music.
I’M FIXING A HOLE WHERE THE RAIN GETS IN AND STOPS MY MIND FROM WANDERING. I think’s that’s the lyrics.
Wait, yes, it was the colors that were psychedelic — music was most definitely the Beatles and Rolling Stones. Whoops — too many drugs = poor memory?
Candy, now that I think about it I can envision some psychodelic music.
Maybe a little ‘Incense and Peppermints’ by Strawberry Alarm Clock? My grandma plays that song way too much. LOL!
My wife and I are quietly watching that area while we save a nice down payment and fix-up money… Love the mid-century ranch homes in that neighborhood. That was a great era for quality home building and nice architectural touches.
