And where is all the furniture? Guess they pared back to stage the house for the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm1fd Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 WOW....they need to paint those fluorescent green kitchen cabinets, and most of the other green woodwork in the house. EEEEK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJones Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 If he throws in the furniture, I am sure he'll sell it in a week.btw, the reflection room, is the room where you say to yourself," I can't believe I spent $1.5 mil for this 80's TUDOR home ! ! !"

KinkaidAlum Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I don't think I have ever seen a private pool with a sprinboard and a high diving board.The rest of the house does remind me of the Soprano's pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am sure its that "suburban staging" concept. He pulled out is really belongings and put some of his showroom furniture in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonRealtor Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 The home has been on the market for a few months, and no public reference has been made to its "famous" owner. I guess when Mack decides it's really time to get the place sold, he pulls out all the stops. It just may work for him. The Shipley's, of Shipley Do-Nuts, also have their home for sale in Northgate Forest.A couple other notable Houston area homes: Fellow furniture giant Robert Finger's home had a contract on it before his recent death, and it closed shortly after he died.David Carr's home went pending in less than 30 days.Texas House of Representatives' Hubert Vo has had a mansion on the market (while under construction) for over a year.

TJones Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Perhaps Mac should have a raffle, or a giveaway? I am not even charging for my marketing brillance Mac, that idea surely deserves one of those 70" bigscreens you got layin' around on the showroom floor ?

ChampionsAdam Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I'm curious what the ugly mural is over that fireplace? I'd like to say I was impressed with this house (and the decor) but I can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
