Have you been watching HGTV like it's your job for what feels like YOUR ENTIRE LIFE? Do you feel like channeling Chip and Joanna Gaines?? Well, boy do I have a treat for you! Kitsch for dayzzzzzz in this surprisingly large 4BR/2.2BA split level with an in-ground pool in Greeeeeeen Acres (it's the place to be!) It'll make you feel like you've taken a time machine back to the 70s! You can almost hear the Brady Bunch theme song when you walk in the door! Gasp with delight at the plush rose-colored carpet and paneling in the rec room (that's what we called them back in the days of yore)! Allow nostalgia to consume you as you take in the marbled, baby-blue living room carpet that's almost the exact same shade as your dad's prom tux! Marvel at the (once-)stylish wallpaper that adorns some of the walls and a couple of ceilings (??)! Appreciate the convenience of having an extra stove in the main floor laundry room! (Why a stove, you ask? BECAUSE. That's why.) Leave your worries behind and escape to Venice as you gaze at the master bedroom mural! Kick off your shoes and wiggle your toes on the thick, brown and white (and maybe green?) shag bedroom carpet as you ponder how you're going to find enough tchotckes to fill the built-in shelves! Head out back and wonder if your parties will ever live up to the parties of yesteryear that were hosted in the breathtakingly large enclosed back porch! (Is it just me, or can you hear Donna Summer's "Last Dance", too??) And let's not forget the piece de resistance - the massive fenced-in backyard with a concrete and brick patio and that sexy, kidney-shaped pool!! Your very own see-ment pond! Seriously, tho, the original owners loved this house. They raised their family in it and took great care of it. The bedrooms are huge, and guess what's under most of those carpets - that's right, HARDWOODS!!! With a little bit of imagination and effort, it could be a real showplace. Smaller, updated houses in the neighborhood have sold in the mid-$30
