Mid-Century 'Time Capsule' Home for Sale in Milwaukee Is an Absolute Treasure

Expressions usually ring true to some degree, I mean they have to stem from somewhere right? Well, I’m sure you have probably heard the popular expression “They just don’t make them like they used to” a time or two. Typically referring to cars, popular food items like the Little Debbie snacks from the 20s, and farm equipment. But TBH one of the biggest things that this old saying refers to in our books in homes.

Now don’t get us wrong… new homes are great and new construction is promising for wiring safety , fresh appliances, and no need for remodels or upgrades. But everything in new homes are typically made with builder-grade level materials, meaning the cheapest, quickest, and often most boring elements go into building the structure of new day homes that simply all just look alike.

Old homes each look so different from one another, each telling their own stories, with bones that were constructed by hand, often with so much detail added into each element.

Check out what we mean with this virtual tour of a true mid-century time capsule home that's up for sale in Milwaukee, WI.

This virtual house tour had us stopping to hit pause nearly every second, “oooing” and “awhing” at nearly every element of the home.

Mid-Century Modern Architecture

Mid-century homes in the modern world are highly sought after by enthusiasts of the old craft design. These sorts of house plans are primarily characterized by very large and spacious open floor plans with shorter ceiling heights but plenty of light with floor-to-ceiling windows.

They typically have a lot of wide angles to them focusing on rectangular and triangular shapes throughout their design aesthetics. Decor comes in the form as minimal, clean, and connecting to natural environmental elements like wood and stone.

The current mid-century style brings in lots of Scandinavian flare, making Ikea a perfect shop for decorating any mid-century modern dwelling.
