Local Mod House
So, I got this today from a local realtor, being it's a locally built modern house and decorated copiously with IKEA I had to share it…
Hi Jen- I have been following your site and the news about Ikea for a while now. Great job (and great coverage in the press)! We made our first pilgrimage to Ikea when I was pregnant with my son in 1988. I believe it was the first US store just outside of Philadelphia. We got a changing table and some porch furniture. Nearly 20 years later, my son has gone off to college and we are still using the drawers from that changing table as part of our kids art studio table and we still have that furniture on our porch!
Anyway, I am now a realtor specializing in modern design and I just listed a house in Middletown you (or your site fans) may be interested in. It was an experimental all steel house built in 1963 by Armco Steel. The current owner is a very talented designer (architecture student) and has used Ikea extensively throughout the home to bring it back to its modern roots. It is SO cool!
Here is a link to the visual tour:

It is 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, priced to sell quickly @ $229,900. They’re even willing to sell it furnished!
I wish I could afford it! It's a heck of a deal, especially for that kind of house. Middletown is a bargain for the area, it's why we live here.

Holy Moly do I covet that house… I’m in a 1958 cape cod in Columbus that has some great mid-century detail, but that house blows mine out of the ‘hood! The pink bathroom is essentially my dream bathroom from childhood - genius. Love the steel… love the steel frame windows… love it all.
