Under $75K Thursday – Art Moderne Home For Sale in Plentywood, MT $75K – Off Market

I believe this style of architecture is referred to as Art Moderne as opposed to Art Deco. It meets the criteria: smooth wall surface, usually of stucco; a flat roof, usually with coping;  horizontal grooves in the walls; and a facade typically asymmetrical. The home also features the typical curved corners.  Art Deco homes may have similar features but the wall surfaces are usually elaborated with zigzags, chevrons or other geometric motifs.

Apparently, Art Moderne was rare in single-family houses, although apartment buildings used it more frequently.

This midcentury home is a local landmark. The unique design, efficient use of space, and large fenced lot give this property a spacious quality not often found in starter homes. Bamboo flooring, updated windows, washer, dryer, fridge and stove make this 2 bedroom, 1 bath house ready to move into, or use as a rental property. One car garage and storage shed add to yard functionality.
