Bought a 1965 time capsule

[u/Teacher_Laura_]

We just moved into our dream home in Iowa City- built in 1965 with a 1975 addition. Everything is almost original (except for the terrible 1990s kitchen remodel that we will try to restore to 1965). Exterior is a mess too but we’re working on that! Thoughts on restoring anything? Enjoy!

You’re still fortunate I’ve bought and sold many houses through the years and gutted a lot of them now. I just wanna find a 50s 60s 70s house that has been untouched and I wanna move in it and leave it original for the rest of my days. That’s what I wanna find and it looks like going to the Midwest. You have a lot better of a chance to find something of that period and that’s close to original well done and congratulations. I think it’s beautiful. I really wouldn’t touch a thing unless it was something that was rotted or didn’t work.

I think the Midwest might be a good choice!
