Patsy Cline's "Dream Home"

The country music superstar's home outside Nashville, recently on the market, has been restored to its mid-century look. "Sunday Morning" digital producer Roman Feeser took a tour.

[@ddellwo]

Am I the only one who is astonished that one of the “Queens” of country music had such a humble idea of what her “dream house” should be? Nowadays, artists with a “thimble’s worth of talent” compared to Patsy live in multi-million dollar estates that make this look like the servant’s quarters…….😮

[@SweetChicagoGator]

Not even a thimble !! 🤪

[@gardensofthegods]

ddwello , I was thinking the exact same thing how within about 30 years dream homes started to become really truly massive with a lot of wasted space and you have to ask yourself what their Heating and Cooling bills must cost per month .

[@bpreppedup6389]

One point that people are missing, is that This home, was indeed Patsy's "Dream Home" And Patsy paid over $30,000 for this home. And back in the early 60's, that was a lot of money. And it does have 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. And most of all, It was Patsy and her Family's Home. Patsy was so very proud of it, even though she didn't get to spend much time there, because of touring dates, and ultimately her death. But at least for a while, it was hers, and she enjoyed it.

[@SweetChicagoGator]

[@jbt6007]

Beautifully restored home with such a bittersweet legacy.

[@TS-ef2gv]

I grew up in the '60s in a middle class suburban neighborhood. People in general tended to have much more modest "dreams" back then as opposed to now. We had smaller houses with one bathroom and siblings shared bedrooms, one land line telephone, one TV with three channels, fewer (if any) cars, and so much less "stuff" than a typical middle class family would have now. We were just as happy though, if not more so.

[@catfish24]

I couldn't have said it better.

[@emsparamedic5183]

Absolutely true! I have 7 siblings, so hand me downs were also the norm, as well as all of the above, way back when.

[@Hazetruck]

We were happier back then.

[@michaelterrell]

We had three bedrooms, a full basement that I used 75% of for my electronics shop. I graduated in 1970. There were five VHF stations and four UHF. I had our two car garage full of B&W TVs that I repaired and sold to kids at my school so over that time, i had over 100 TVs. The family had two TVs. My dad bought one of the first Motorola Quasar TVs when I was 13. He bought it from the shop where I worked, after school. I still have that TV. The other was a B&W Zenith portable that disappeared while I was in the Army. I had it in my bedroom, and watched the first lunar landing on it.

I hope the next caretakers of the home appreciate it for what it is and preserve its history.

[@paulinelarson465]

Friends of my family built a similar house in Florida, on the ocean, near Palm Beach, probably about 1960. We lived just north of West Palm Beach. My father was a decorative painter professionally, but he agreed to act as their general contractor for the build. The owners were a wealthier couple whose main residence was in Great Neck NY. I was so in awe of that house ! It had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an attached garage and a "Florida Room". When the house was near completion, the wife, their son and her parents came for vacation and to observe the decorating. The owner was a rather famous interior decorator and he had most of the material and furniture shipped from New York. The kitchen cabinets were pink ! as were the appliances ! WOW ! !Master bath fittings were mint ! Jeffrey's bedroom had cowboy wallpaper, with "ranch" style furniture and the dining room had a, whole wall, Japanese garden scene, wallpaper, very similar to Patsy's. They had carpeting, sheer curtains, and modern, slightly oriental furniture. It was a magic summer. The house was like nothing I had seen, but, modest compared with what the decorator usually designed and my father worked on in Palm Beach. My father was papering and painting between his regular jobs - and I got to watch that unfold, go to the beach with the family, and help plant flower beds. I spent a lot of time in that house after the grandparents and the boy, bit younger than me, began living there full-time during school year. They are all gone now - including the boy, murdered at 23 by S. Fla. drug runners and his uncle at 48, by NY mobster. Both innocently in wrong place at wrong time.

Patsy was extremely humble. The house restoration is incredible. It amazes me that she lived in a home just like a “normal” person such as myself would live in. She did not go all out for a glamorous lifestyle and that says a lot about her. She was a beautiful woman on the inside and the outside.

[@tammylewis2408]

I think they did a terrific job restoring Patsy's house to what it was before she died. As for their lifestyle (to some of the posters), that's not for ANYONE to judge because when you point one finger, ten fingers will point back at you, or in another saying, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Patsy's house was modest compared to the houses of entertainers today. Sad that she never really had the chance to enjoy the house she bought with the money she earned from her recordings and touring with her growing family. Many country singers of her generation grew up poor, and having a house with indoor plumbing and other amenities was considered a luxury. I love looking at house styles from the 50s to today and observing how societal changes reflect a house's color schemes and designs. Patsy's house had pink appliances, common in the 50s and early 60s, with pink and other pastels as the main colors. Those colors reflected a more innocent time when there was optimism before JFKs death, which happened nine months after Patsy's death, and before the Beatles changed music and popular culture.

We bought house built in 1916. Remodeled of course inside and added on to but I bet there’s a lot of history behind it! Wish I could find out what it is. I love old homes. So much better than the ones they build now. Stand the Test of time if they are built right.

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

It's important to note that that house was luxurious for its time. Patsy's daughter and I appear to be the same age. I remember Mercurachrome and Methiolate quite well. Mom ONLY bought Methiolate as it was extremely painful (therefore better) and it was 5 cents cheaper. Fortunately all the neighborhood Moms would fix me up. People NEED to realize our society did not have the HUGE income disparities in the 50's and 60's that it has now. Look at Elvis's "mansion". It has one additional floor, but it's similar.

[@michaelterrell]

@@brandonsherman7042 Nonsense! It was right after WWII that cookie cutter subdivisions were built. My family's first home was one of those Prefab homes that was built by National. They had crews that did specific jobs, starting with pouring a slab. It took seven days from open land to a house that was ready fr sale. The second was built in 1944, and it was in an older neighborhood. It was custom built, by the owner. They actually built two houses. The first was a small cottage they lived in, while the house was built. My dad and I removed a wall in the cottage, because the previous owner had removed the floor and installed garage doors. My first home was built prior to 1868. The house across the street, and the one next door to me were both log cabins that had were just as old. Both hat aluminum siding over the logs t make them look newer. The only two buildings in the area that looked the same had been portable classrooms for the school. They were moved and used for businesses after a second school was built. I taught people to install alarm systems in new homes as they were built. Every one was custom built. It was much better to pre-wire the home before the insulation and drywall went up. I'm a couple months from turning 70 so I've seen thousands of homes. Personally, I dislike cookie cutter neighborhoods, but my area is surrounded by huge retirement communities that are built that way.
