’70s Time Capsule Begging to Be Opened By a Vintage-Minded Buyer

If you like to groove to sweet soul music and think neon flower motifs are adorable, we’ve pinpointed the perfect home for you. All you need to bring is a cool collection of Me Decade–era furnishings, and you’ll be living the high life in the ultimate ‘70s time capsule.

Listed with Brian Perry of Coldwell Banker, this three-bedroom home in Roseville, CA, is priced at $545,000. Built in 1977—when Atari was first released in North America and the first “Star Wars” film premiered—the 2,520-square-foot home is in pristine condition. The renovated loft could be turned into a fourth bedroom, expanding the property’s livable space.

Living room usage has certainly changed over the decades—out with the turntable, in with the home theater—but what hasn’t changed is a need for coziness. The cozy vibe is strong with the wood paneling in this home, which needs just a few updates to bring it into modern times. We suggest taking up the carpet, hanging some art on the walls, and placing a few lava lamps on end tables. Naturally, the eat-in bar will never go out of style.

The kitchen features vibrant reminders of the ’70s, including original plaid and floral wallpaper in burnt orange, harvest gold, and avocado green; a tile-top island; built-in appliances; and wood paneling.

The linoleum flooring couldn’t be more ’70s either. It’s still shiny and the pattern clashes in a major way with the wallpaper, but somehow it works.

Walk-in closet

The bedrooms look like they need an overhaul and some repositioning. With a soaring ceiling and built-in shelves, one of the rooms could have a ski lodge theme.

The master bedroom could take a chic turn once the shag carpeting and floral wallpaper are removed and crisp, white linens are added to the bed. The mirrored closet doors, however, could remain—so you can double-check your outfit before heading out.

Check out the wood-paneled walk-in closets in the master and junior master bedrooms. Drop an island in the middle and add a lighting fixture above for instant glam dressing rooms.

One of the bathrooms

We love the yellow butterfly–themed wallpaper in the bathroom. It’s still in great condition, so there’s no need to peel it off. Swapping out the faux marble-top vanity would be a smart call, but we can see this bathroom maintaining its sunny feel.

Covered patio

Speaking of which, this area of California can have some intense-sun days. When you’re done admiring the well-preserved interior, filter out the UVs on the covered patio and groove to your favorite ’70s jams.
