We moved up to Minot over 2 years ago when I took a job at the University. We were not sure if, or how long, we'd be staying here, but we finally made the decision this past summer to buy a house - so I guess we're here for longer than just the short term now. We scoured Zillow for months looking for something that we both agreed had good bones. There are enclaves of mid century houses here in Minot, but they are spread out. Finding a place that we both liked took a few months, and really it was one feature in particular that did it for me.
It's not a looker right now from the street. But it's also not a dog. It was build in the Bel Air addition in 1959, so it is a true mid-century raised ranch. The bones are there on the outside, but they will need some help to show through the skin at some point down the road. Yeah, it's clad in vinyl, yeah the lot is pretty small, but look at the low angles of the roof, and that wall of original Andersen windows across the front! It's what is inside that we both really liked though.
