The kitchen is pretty cool, but not in this house! The bathrooms, however, are great. I love those colorful period baths, and really appreciate owners who keep them and don’t install Jacuzzis.

To the untutored eye and subject to a lot of correction by others, this is a seeming time-capsule. The kitchen seems 50s at the latest; the stairway railing etc are indeed the 40s, and two of the bathrooms seem (again) at the latest to from the 50s. Remarkable find again, Kelly!

I am dying over the kitchen and those bathrooms! I hope whoever buys it has the good sense to keep them as is.
The build date of 1948 seems late to me for this house. Thoughts on that?
What material is the kitchen flloor? Linoleum?

According to Realtor.com, it is Laminate in the kitchen. I don’t know much about this period, interior wise, but I’m sure someone can verify if the date seems right.

I think the date is spot on. I own a 1950 cape code purchased from the original builders and the kitchen and bathrooms are identical to what was in my home. Hard to tell … but the kitchen floor with the boarder may be original linoleum … that stuff wears like iron!

Those bathrooms scream ’30s and ’40s to me…. but I’m sure our experts can pinpoint a build date closer than that……….

The bathrooms and the door hardware look from late 30′s to me but we have to keep in mind the shortages during World War II and then the gradual resumption of production after the War. These older materials might have been what was available at that time. A research of tax records could likely pinpoint the construction date-I’ll do an online check at the Hamilton Co. Auditor’s site- older properties have tax cards that sometimes go back to the 30′s and 40′s. I’ll repost if I find anything pre-1948.

The Auditor’s site shows first ownership in 1946 by Bertha Fessel. Land value only is shown on the tax card before 1949 at $1,520. In 1949 it jumps to 15,700 indicating the new construction from the previous tax year so 1948 appears to be correct.

Also … all the kitchen & bath wall tile – which is almost identical to what I had in my home … was plastic not ceramic. We did not know this until we were removing it.

Cept for the floor in the kitchen, I love it..

That kitchen floor looks like it is probably the original linoleum.

Clifton has been an upscale Cincinnati neighborhood since it started in the 1850′s. Unlike many other old Cincinnati neighborhoods, Clifton has remained desirable and never went through a long period of decline. It’s also close the the University of Cincinnati and remains home for many academicians and their families. While (The Village of) Indian Hill is still the Cincinnati neighborhood where the old monied live, Clifton is not too far behind. Post WWII homes are less common in Clifton but this post-war Tudor fits in perfectly with the 1920′s and ’30′s homes in the neighborhood. Seems like very little has been changed inside since it was built.

I like the original kitchen myself, but what with the weird camera angles and lenses, they seem to be doing everything they can to hide the fact that it’s a relatively tiny room.

Thanks for the info, John. The bathrooms were what threw me off — but I didn’t think about the possibility of shortages in materials and the builder possibly using old stock. Excellent point.
I suspect this house is nicer in person, though it’s less detailed in the interior than earlier Tudors. It can be hard to judge empty rooms with the weird realtor camera angles.

Not my style, but it really is unusual to see an intact period kitchen and all those intact bathrooms!
