This one in Forest Park looks as though it has been done right:

I'd take all of them!
ReplyDelete*Groan* Why can't I find these kinds of home in the town that I live in?
ownplace -Keep up your hunt. Sometimes these gems are really hidden. But when you find one, it makes it all worthwhile!
ReplyDeleteI love these places - but we love yours even more... What an amazing house. We love the garden in the middle and the great windows. Your furniture is awesome as well. My husband and I are big fans of mid-century furnishings and architecture. We live in the Chicago area - but MAY have a chance to relocate to Birmingham. If we do - we'll check out your suggestions. We also are involved with the rockabilly music scene here. Is there any of that in Birmingham?

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Magic City Modern! If you do come to Birmingham, let me know and I can help steer you to some fertile hunting ground for MCMs. I don't know about Rockabilly here -- our music taste is more big band/swing (we play in a big band) and I'm not that up on local happenings. But the rock scene is strong, as is the bluegrass/string band scene -- could the nexus of the three be rockabilly?
I bought 4428 Linpark last August. I love it! I grew up in a mid-cent modern--my father was an architect. I never realized how much I was drawn to the style until recently. Can't beat the space and the lines. Keep posting!
