This Family Home Is A Time Capsule From The 1960s

<div><p>If you're in the market for a 3-bedroom home in Toronto, and your biggest decorating inspiration is reruns of <em>The Brady Bunch</em>, you're in luck.</p><p>Tucked away in the city's Bloor West Village neighborhood, this home only had one owner between 1942 and 2014. During that time the house went through a few renovations, but the last big update was in 1965.</p><p>So when the owner moved into a retirement community a few years ago and put her family home on the market, people were shocked to see what the inside of this house looked like.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/1-2.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/1-2_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/1-2_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/1-2_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>HGTV</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/2.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/2_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/2_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/2_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>HGTV</cite></figcaption></figure></div><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/3.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/3_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/3_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/3_GH_content_750px.jpg 750w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>HGTV</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>Looking at these photos it's hard to believe they were taken this decade. The owner did such a great job preserving her home that you could convince someone these are snapshots from the 50s.</p><p>The home is full of fantastic little decorating touches, like the glass-topped wrought-iron table in the breakfast nook.</p><p>Even the light fixtures have a funky, art-deco charm.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/6.jpg"
