Does anyone have an interior pics? I'm disappointed that only two were included in Cite.

Thanks. I will check with Brazos when I am back in Houston in January.

I haven't gotten mine yet, looking forward to it. Ben, do you have it, or do you just know what's going to be in it?

MissJanel, you used to be able to buy single copies at Brazos Bookstore; call 'em and ask. On the other hand, individual memberships to RDA are not very expensive and are IMHO, very much worth it for the access to lectures, home tours, and Cite.

Is there a way to buy just one issue without having to subscribe?

There's an article in the new CITE magazine about this house by Ben Koush with photos by Paul Hester.

Now on HAR

MLS#: 48208843

The same $250,000, but it's pending and due to close at the end of the month.

I can't find it on HAR anymore ... how much is being asked for it?

$250,000 and still no takers.

It's the house, the location and the flood map.

You should definately call to confirm but based on previous listings that have sold in the same building I'm pretty sure it's a mistake on the agents part. It's likely $1453 monthly, not annually.

I'm in the market for a larger place and being a fan of MCM I've always been interested in 5050 Woodway. Does anyone know anything about this building? I don't know anything about it other than what has been shown in listings in HAR over the years. The maintenance fee seems to be very low for a high rise. That kind of scares me. I wonder if the maintenance on the building is being done as it should be.

Current Listing in 5050 Woodway

The original 2 car carport is attached.

No garage? Was the garage once separate and gone by dividing lot and prior sale? I am always amazed at no garage here in Houston. It has really helped (at least the pictures) to show it furnished.

Another contract falls through. Back on the market today with a price adjustment to $277,777

The Formica House has managed to attract yet another buyer who loves the place and wants to redo it and live there. There should be an announcement soon. Lets hope the sale goes through this time.

Does anyone know where the PPG House of New Dimension is located? It was designed by Waller Poage, the same architect as the Formica House, as a showcase for Pittsburgh Plate Glass company in 1966, a year before the Formica house.

The listing agent is holding an open house this Sunday from 1-3 for anyone who wants to see it.

The house seems to be in excellent shape. The current owners are part of the family that built it, and are very committed to preserving it. I think they are wanting to move the house to a different location if the next buyer doesn't want to keep it. It should be small enough to do this anyway.

Fabulous pics Ben!

The house looks great!

I guess there is no love for the formica house. It's back on the market today.

Yes, Rebecca lives in the boyscout log cabin she renovated with her SO.

Did I read something on Rebecca Perez living in that log cabin house in Park Place?

Looks like a flip is emminent. Most likely the same investor that flipped 9006 Dunlap in Robindell and the recent aquisition of a forum member.

This house is under contract.

Priced dropped to $289,999 on July 25

It took 3 buyers though.

Finally closed... and it was purchased for full price ($385k).

Hope the new owners enjoy it!

Have you tried contacting the HOA to see if they keep records of which properties flooded? I know that they keep track of the lots which are owned by the Harris County Flood Control Authority, but they may not keep track of all the flooded houses. What about contacting those neighbors who are original owners and asking if they remember the house flooding.

Unfortunately too much time has passed since TSA to track in CLUE reports. They only log the last 5 years of insurance claims.

We have been trying to find out more information about the flooding history of this house. Our realtor is at a stalemate. I do know that the west side of Rice that it sits on has traditionally sat higher than the other side of the street and the houses further back on the west side have not flooded in years past. Does anyone know anything about it or know of another resource to look up the info besides the useless FEMA site?

Not to put salt on the wounds but I noticed a while back that Marvin Granit put his beloved lot up for sale. Anyone know why he backed out on building his personal custom home after so expediantly tearing down the Cohen house?

ML #: 2474064

Back in active status.

I guess I only have to wait another 30 days to find out what someone thinks it is worth...

my favorite line from the movie was "but I get to sleep with the landlady"

It's now option pending.

It's my understanding from tonights Meyerland board meeting that this property was purchased by the city of Houston for construction of a detention pond. I believe that some of the land around the pond will be used as a park.

I was wondering what was happening at that property.

If its going to be McMansions, then they're building it in an area where not only flooding would/will be an issue, but accessibility is going to be a royal pain. It would have been even worse if they were building an apartment complex, though.

Sucks to be whoever is going to move there unless they enjoy total isolation and lousy access to support businesses.

The status changed on 2/2 to option pending with a new buyers agent and a estimated close date of 2/11.

No, the listing is pending no show but it was scheduled to close today so the status will most likely be updated within a few days.

HAR listing for this house is off-line... has this property closed?
