Small is good. And this small, midcentury modest time capsule house in Omaha, Nebraska, listed for sale by agent Rachel Tiller… well, it’s pretty much 1949 perfection. Two bedrooms, two bathroooms, coved ceilings, a coolonial knotty pine basement — all in 1,119 s.f. — what a sweetheart.
From the listing:
- Price: $95,000
- Year built: 1949
- Square footage: 1,119
- Bedrooms: 2
- Bathrooms: 2
Well maintained all brick home 2 bed 2 bath ranch in desirable Benson. Beautiful wood floors on the main and fireplace in the living room. Kitchen has lots of cabinets for storage. Master bedroom has double closets! Large flat yard with porch and mature trees. Great location close to schools and downtown Benson!
This pink and blue vintage tile bathroom is perfection. I love all of the little details like the random mosaic flooring, the decorative liner tiles and the contrasting bullnose tile. The addition of the white fixtures and ceramic bath accessories keeps the bathroom sweet without going overboard. Love.
Then there is the warm toned knotty pine basement rec room– a cozy spot for family to gather and unwind together — complete with a fireplace.
Reader Brenda, who tipped us off to this charming home, wondered if this was a built-in wall radio. What do you think?
I spy a vintage stove in the cute wood and white vintage kitchen, too. Just lovely.
I predict a home with this much personality at such an affordable price won’t last long. Mega thanks to realtor Rachel Tiller and photographer Minchu Yi for allowing us to feature this gem.
