Could be it was the last home of someone who retired in the ’80s and could not afford, on a fixed income, granite countertops and stainless appliances. After a certain age, such items are mere fripperies.

Cheer up, guv’nor – we were just avin a bi of fun. It looks like a perfectly comfortable and well-appointed house.
“If it’s not grown, it’s mined” – except for formica, which naturally occurs all over the surfaces of my kitchen. And not even groovy 70s formica – the sort of matte 80s kind: not even worth mocking, but serviceable.
I’m getting sick to my belly just looking at the picture. Oh, maybe the bedroom is also used as a vomi-torium….
The 1980s called; they want their decor back.
Appropriately priced for that neighborhood, you snobs.
P.S.
So glad you guys never saw photos of my house while it was on HAR.com. I would never be able to live down the shame.
It only lacks Catherine Deneuve:
