We've heard of BDE, but what about BGE? Well, this tiny time capsule home in Clinton Twp. has Big Grandma Energy and we want nothing more than to suck on some butterscotch hard candies and trip out on the home's many wallpaper patterns.

Built in 1967, this 1,141 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home packs a retro punch for $169,000. Meticulously maintained by the home's only owner, the home could use a few updates, namely the carpet. Like, brightly colored shag could go a long way in freshening up the place but other than that, the home is a Mid-Century jackpot.

Per the listing, the home features a large fenced-in yard, a family room with a fireplace, and an open concept kitchen. The home's crown jewel, however, is the basement. The full-finished basement boasts a retro wet bar with a refrigerator, dining space, and a full bathroom, and plenty of room to twist, shout, and shag. Oh, and all appliances are included (including the delightfully outdated fridge and stove) — and the seller is offering up all the home's Mid-Century furnishings for the right price.
