...I shudder to think what a typical home buyer, who does not appreciate Mid Century style, would have done to this place. I can just imagine the original tile in both bathrooms getting ripped out, the kitchen cabinets and countertops being replaced with new stuff...Which is fine for a new home, but not a 1960 house that had been left almost totally original.

  
 Ron;
   I've watched a lot of home reno shows on HGTV and have seen a lot involving Kitchen remodels in houses from the 1940s through 1960s. I can sort of understand why they would rip a kitchen out if it were falling apart and no longer functional but have seen more then a few where they ripped out a perfectly good set of cabinets simple because they were "Dated looking", and replaced them with a set of flat pack style cabinets from Ikea that won't last 10 years.
 In one case they went to the flat pack junk because they blew the budget on making the kitchen/dining room/livingroom  area "open concept", I would rather have kept the walls and bought better cabinets myself then pay extra to have a birds eye view of the stove. Some new doors, a new countertop and sink, maybe a few inexpensive mods inside the cabinets themselves, and they would have been fine.
