Hint of Mid-Century Modern

See It?

Mid-Century Modern: A design style that emerged in the mid 20th century characterized by clean, simple lines, whether geometric or organic. The movement embraced modern technology and focused on a very livable style.

My listing at 601 Drillane in Hopkins (pictured above) has been attracting attention from Buyers interested in Mid-Century Modern architecture.

The home, a California rambler built in 1953, has over 1,800 finished square feet on one level, and sits on a gorgeous, park-like .55 acre near Oakridge in Hopkins. It's listed -- by me! -- for $289k (it's been on the market two weeks).

"Mid-Century Modern" -- or "Ancient?"

Real Estate Oxymorons

I know that "Mid-Century Modern" is a much-sought after architectural style.

In fact, one the most gratifying and successful transactions I handled was a Mid-Century Modern just south of Lake Calhoun two years ago.

That said, the last several I've run into could more properly be labeled "Mid-Century Ancient": badly dated, in poor condition, and in general need of (major) remodeling.
