MCM Architecture and Mannheim

MID CENTURY MODERN ARCHITECTURE:
Last month I had the pleasure of selling the home above. It has beautiful wood beamed ceilings and upper windows, in typical Mid-Century Modern architecture. I had quite a bit of interest in this property and sold it very quickly for very close to asking price.
Yesterday I came across another home in KW with similar architectural design, not quite as nice, but a nice location. I had a large number of buyers come thru my open house last month and two gentlemen in particular who quite obviously really apprectiated the architecture of the home. So, I've popped them an email about this new one to see if they're interested.

MANNHEIM: Just got back from some showings in the lovely village of Mannheim. Mannheim is a neat little place with a newer area with some very expensive homes (some custom built easily 700-over a mil), as well as an older section with some slightly less expensive homes (300-600ish).

The lure of Mannheim is often the property size, large lots that are just much harder to find in the city. It's convenient to the expressway as well as to the west side of Kitchener (only a few minutes to the Sunrise centre! :). Interestingly enough, the area of newer homes is hooked up to municipal sewage, but if you're looking in the older section, those homes usually have their own septic tanks. One of the main concerns with septic is often where it is located in relation to your water source (wells). Thankfully in Mannheim most of the homes are hooked up to municipal water.


That's it for today! Not sure I'm going to be able to post something interesting EVERY day but certainly come back and check in again! And please leave comments or questions for that matter! I'd love to know what everyone would like to hear more about.

Enjoy your long weekend!
