mkultra25 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Anyone else see this house on the front page of the Chronicle's Sunday real estate section? 8 Remington If money was no object and I could live anywhere in Houston, Shadyside would be probably be at the top of the list. They're asking more than twice what HCAD has the property appraised at, but how often do houses in Shadyside come on the market, anyway? 10 Remington sits on an even bigger chunk of land - a staggering four acres right in the heart of the Museum District. The aerial view from Google Maps is impressive, to say the least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm1fd Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 LOL LOL LOL Look at the picture of the realtor in that listing!! She just has this huge TEE-HEE-HEE-I'M-GETTING-6%-OF-EIGHT-MEEEEEELION DOLLARS look on her face. Priceless!But seriously....incredible house and grounds. Puts most of what's in River Oaks to shame!

Porchman Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I've been in this house. It's really fantastic. I want a loggia in my house. mkultra25: Maybe Peggy McGee can work a deal for you. Can you come up with 8.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkultra25 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 mkultra25: Maybe Peggy McGee can work a deal for you. Can you come up with 8.1? As long as 7.9 of it's a balloon payment, I'm golden. Besides, I hear tell there's still a few hardy lenders out there offering zero-down ARMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmer Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I always want to follow the UPS man into shadyside to look around flipper I followed a car in once when I was on my bicycle (it was actually the AIA tour day and I was coming from the Robertson house). But then I was afraid I couldn't get back out so I chickened out and and left before the gate closed. Plkk, plkk, plkk, I know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 OT question. Why is the street that runs off Bissonet towards Shadyside called W 11th Place? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 OT question. Why is the street that runs off Bissonet towards Shadyside called W 11th Place? It looks like it was the name of the little area (the neighborhood is NE Turner) from the block book (and HCAD), but from the block book map it looks like Bissonnet was 11th, and a street south of it was 12th: http://books.tax.hctx.net/v036/AE1997_35-36_0335.jpg The lower 1925 Sanborn map, though, shows W 11th Place as Virginia St. (and Waverly Ct. as Wilmuth): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I always forget about those block books being online, and the Sanborn maps are available with a library card. Thanks for looking htis up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
