1967 Renovated Flat-Roof Goodman in Hollin Hills – $675K
This renovated flat-roof home by Charles Goodman in Hollin Hills was just listed. The listing for this 3/2 home on .41 acres has only one exterior image. I’d like to see what what was done inside. Has anyone seen this one?
Listing says granite counters. Ugh.
Missed that when I was writing it at 5 in the morning. Way too early. Not suprised, unfortunately.
Forgive my asking, but what is the appropriate counter material for a MCM kitchen?
Many MCM homes had laminate countertops such as Fromica.

Today, many people are using concrete, which fits in with a modern home.
What about recycled aluminum? Green and cool.

Thank you – what a great site!
Mike, I think it’s a bit much for people to say what are the appropriate materials to use in a MCM home. The architecture is what attracts people to these homes. In my opinion, the countertop and cabinet materials, the appliances, and the flooring were not some significant architectural decision, they were cost-effective materials available at the time that seemed somewhat consistent with the architectural style. Use of other materials that are now more widely available shouldn’t be poo-poo’d by homeowners/buyers unless your interest is simply having a 1950′s cultural museum. Since I don’t prefer to live in a museum, I will always keep my options open for the best in modern living that my wallet afford.
Sorry if this sounded like too much of a rant. :^)

Jim,
Good point. I don’t disagree. My whole things is that whatever material is used, whether new or old, it should fit in with the look and philosophy of the house. Just my two cents.
