It's unfortunate that this 1969 mid-century modern home in Chappaqua, New York. wasn't properly cared for. It needs work, so I'm wondering if the $1.9M asking price for this 7bd, 6ba home is really worth it. What do you think?
As soon as you enter the living room area, you can see by the rough shape of the furniture and dirty carpet, that the home hasn't been beautifully maintained.
I wonder what's under the carpet. This can be a glorious sunny room with a view of the pool.
Could be a fabulous tropical oasis.
Looks like the dining area.
Mismatched kitchen needs cabinetry and a new floor.
What is happening here? Missing wall around the door, exposed plumbing, and the side panel of the cabinet is gone. Is this place leaking everywhere?
Are those gas pipes?
Don't know what kind of condition the pool is in, and the glass dome is dirty, but does it leak?
Up the stairs, there's a semi-open loft with a library. I like the floating shelves. The carpet's faded, but it's nice up here.
Large primary bedroom. The floor has been stripped, so it will need a new one.
Carpet in this room is shot.
Small shower room.
Dated thermostat, hole in the wall.
Deck is worn, so it needs some work.
Looks like a little log cabin on the property.
Could use a little landscaping.
8.86 acres.

MHA House, 1947, A Quincy Jones, Jim Charlton
MHA: SITE OFFICE (2019)
Four friends, returning from WWII, pooled their money and bought an acre of land. They hired a pre-Eichler A Quincy Jones, along with Whitney R. Smith, and engineer Edgardo Contin, and built four homes. The group formed the non profit Mutual Housing Association, and through this many more homes were then built in the area, several by renowned mid century architects.
This video takes us on a short tour of MHA's site office and studio, which was converted to a residence in 1956, and more recently restored by architect-owner Cory Buckner. The site was planned so that the houses sat on its corners, at angles to the street and each other, with a central communal pool and play area, which diminishes the sense of internal boundaries, and allows uninterrupted views of the greenery.
