BenH Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 http://search.har.com/engine/dispSearch.cf...mp;backButton=YThis one's very close to my office, so I see it quite a bit. Neat house, and probably one of Tanglewood's last mods before the McMansions completely take over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey01 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Cool house, GREAT potential, all it needs is some de-nineties work. It should be noted, though, that this is not originally designed by Lucien Hood. He did a remodel in the 70's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokeyhawk Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Cool house, GREAT potential, all it needs is some de-nineties work.I agree 100%. I wonder what the Lucian Hood remodel looked like since it appears that the 90's remodel got rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicMan Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 This house is zoned to Briargrove Elementary, Grady Middle, and Lee High (with Lamar and Westside as options) in Houston ISD - Since many apartments were rezoned away from Grady the school zoning for this house may appeal to people more.

GoAtomic Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 At that price, let's hope it's not going to be torn down. The one next door to this looks like it's day's are numbered, and several months back they tore down the one caddy-corner to it (a perfectly kept Wrightian ranch) because the dirt's worth so dang much.

The fact that it's on a fringe street and priced about 200k too high for a tear down might save it.

Willowisp Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I hate to be negative, but I can't see a purist wanting to undo all that's been done to this house, and I can't see the likes of people who want to live in Tanglewood wanting a one story ranch with various updates for $1.5 million.It seems like "no man's land" with this house.The realtors really need to empty this house out so it will show well. I have a vision for what a house could be, but even I have my limits.In Tanglewood, an old, modern house is mostly likely a goner.
