In the world of architecture and interior design, there is always a lot of talk of trends, what’s in style, what’s a big ick, etc.
But 165 Sherwood Ave. shows us that if you have taste, it doesn’t really matter what you do, and your house will still look awesome even if it was built in the ’70s.
Custom-built in 1977, this home has been with the same family since.
The living room and family room.
And while some parts definitely hint at its late 70s roots, the home has a timeless look that doesn’t really place it in any distinct era.
