1980.
Reagan wins the presidency with mortgage interest rates around 14%. The Empire Strikes Back is in theaters and the Rubik's Cube is on toy-store shelves. Blondie, Pink Floyd and Olivia Newton-John are topping the charts. And you absolutely are not missing the new episode of Dallas.
Today, it's AI, data centers, 7% mortgage rates and an endless stream of notifications, feeds, algorithms and noise.
So much noise.
Yeah, I'm adding to it right now with this post.
But at 85 Tanglewood Trl. in Valpo, there's still a little slice of then instead of now.
Not another snapped-together, particle-board, cookie-cutter box.
Knotty-pine ceilings give the rooms texture and warmth. A real wood-burning fireplace makes you look forward to November when it's still July. Mature trees surround a mature property. Rooms are substantial, with actual points of demarcation because, frankly, open concept can be noisy too.
There's a dedicated dining room. A big kitchen for making food—the good food—the way they did it in 1980. And four sliding doors make the backyard feel like an extension of the house.
Maybe they got a few things right.
1980 can get it.
