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.

I don't know why, but they took this 1959 Flying Saucer house in Cortlandt Manor, New York, off the market. It was owned by the late comedic actor Jackie Gleason (You know, Ralph, on The Honeymooners). 5bds, 5ba, $1,679,300.
Wow, look at the millwork! This was some amazing house in the 1950s. Looks like a dance floor here.
This kitchen is incredible. And it's in perfect condition.
Spacey stainless steel with lighted cabinets.
Look at this. It's built-in, but it's as big as a bed. Hmmm.
A game room. Wonder if the games convey.
There's also a beautiful fireplace and bar.
Everything is rounded. Even the shower doors. The sink is cool, elevated by thin legs.
I don't know what this is, but it's by the dining room. It has seats, closets, and cabinets. I don't think it's the primary bedroom, b/c it's open. Maybe it is, though.
Beautiful dining room right outside the kitchen. Look at the built-in counter and seat. Has a bar, too.
A cool built-in home office.
The grand stairway.
The black marble bath looks so well-kept.
Nice sun room is quite a large space.
Looks like this was a well-used area.
This stone guest house is beautiful inside, too.
Oh, I would definitely rent this out.
The main house has a beautiful patio and pool.
Decks and patios go around the house.
Think that's the guest house behind that cluster of trees.
8.49 acres of property.
