This mod house has been renovated to highlight its original beauty. It has been featured on architectural websites, and will not last long.

This is a small but very well proportioned, carefully detailed, move in ready MCM house. Research is still underway and yeilding this house has an important design background.

One of a kind beautiful mid century modern home. So many updates- complete new kitchen including convection oven, all new bathrooms (4), new hardwood flooring, surround sound, new roof in 2003, 4 new sets of French triple mahogany doors surrounding the pool, slate around the pool, one new a/c unit, one new water heater, electrical box and amperage increased.

Architect W. W. Crochet designed this house for his family. He will be at the house this Sunday to tell us about it and discuss Houston's architectural heritage. This will be a valuable opportunity to tap the knowledge of someone that influenced Houston's modern movement.

Wow! All three of the houses featured on the June 22nd Mod of the Month tour have Option Pending status. These are three wonderful houses. It seems like mod flips are successful in Houston, even in the slower economy.

My wife and I bought the house on Dunlap. I'm an old window freak, and I love the ones in the house, first time I've seen some like it. We just moved from a 1955 house in Austin that sported 9- 7'X6' windows that cranked out (not the whole window). I've been lurking this site for housing options for 3 months or so now. Glad to see that H-town is (deservedly) proud of its' rich architectural gems. And the prices are pretty nice, as well. We would have spent probably 50% more in Austin to be in as cool a house zoned to a good school.
