"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.
