Lawton, Oklahoma's 'Brady Bunch' House

I'm not the most artistic person in the world, but I'm the type that knows it when I see it. This Lawton house is straight out of mid-century Hollywood. With the multi-level construction and what Google says is called a "shed ceiling," this (nearly) half-million-dollar gem of the 1950s instantly reminded me of the iconic Brady Bunch house I remember in my 90s rerun youth.

Listed by Pam & Barry's Team, I spotted it over on Zillow while passing a moment of boredom over the weekend and couldn't get over how neat some of the rooms were. Vintage vibes indeed.
