sevfiv Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Does anyone have any information about 2335 Underwood (c. 1940)? It's located in Braeswood/Med Center near Main and Morningside, and I came across a sewer disconnect permit (demolition) for the house. Looks like it was sold this past August to "Randall D. Newman and Joanne Swartz." Asking price was over $1 million. map permit Here are some pictures from HAR: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Wow. I can't believe people still tear down houses like this one. Let's hope the buyers are in it when it comes down! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonRealtor Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 It did sell in August for full asking price according to MLS. That was $1.1M. The house was listed for 185 days and started at $1.5M. It was advertised as being sold in "as-is condition". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flipper Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I can not believe that someone would pay 1M for any lot in Braeswood. Maybe they are disconnecting the sewer for another reason. flipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flipper Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I swear this one boggles my mind. According to the MLS, this "lot" was the 5th most expensive "lot" purchase in MLS area 17 as far back as the MLS keeps track. Granted, some "lots" are listed as houses when they sell, but this is ridiculous. This sale puts this property (in braeswood) on par with Shady Side, West U, Southampton.Even though the land is half an acre, they grossly overpaid in my opinion. I'm perplexed.flipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sevfiv Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Current Google street view (empty lot for sale) - BUT - this lot is now technically replatted as part of 4 Braeswood Court, which is the house just southwest of the lot http://goo.gl/maps/Mqcxr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota79 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Wow. That is shocking, but if they can Replat to multiple lots (even 2) it makes economic sense. Still, 99% of the world would have multiple generations living happily in that house just as it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
