This was a 2 Bedroom, 2 Bath home with a carport including a screened patio and air conditioning for $34,990. You could also convert the patio to a Florida Room with sliding glass doors for $3,695. The carport could also be changed to a garage for $1,075 or even a double garage for $2,050.

This home seems inexpensive, however, this home was very expensive back in 1970. As a private country club community, the Woodlands was much more expensive than it’s neighbors in Tamarac. Maintenance fees were only $48 a month and included all lawn care, plus use of the recreational facilities.

If you haven’t been to the Woodlands yet, take a drive by and check out these unbelievable mid-century modern homes.

Thank you to Edie Green with Coldwell Banker for sharing these with me and the rest of our community.
