Chamo Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Got 1.8M laying around?http://search.har.com/engine/dispSearch.cf...mp;backButton=Y flipper Beautiful house.... First time I see a second floor waterfall into a pool. Unfortunately, the $35 annual maintenance fee is a deal breaker for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott08 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Kind of Frank Gehry'ish, probably either a love or hate kind of thing. Aesthetics aside, very large and unlike the surrounding neighborhood, also in the flood plain I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevfiv Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Yeah, it's "worth" about ten times as much as the other homes there...and it is really close to the ugly 11th St./Hempstead area. The house may be out of place and slightly obtrusive, but it's not as bad as the copy on the picture descriptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plumber2 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 My aunt and uncle live across the street from this monster. My aunt claims that it is so big it "blocks the sun". Now that's pretty darn big. Note: All of the homes on this street had 3-4 feet of water in them during tropical storm Allison. This one seems to built up high to avoid that, but it only emphasizes the adjoining homes vulnerabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceAge Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 My favorite design instructor had the perfect word to describe things such as this new house at 6204 Queenswood:Wretched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 I have to agree, there are too many types of materials in this structure. It looks strangely like my 1970's dentist office bldg.* entrance foyer,on Augusta, minus the waterfall pond, stucco, and tile. *Has the wood panels & atrium w/slim windows.This house is a perfect example of my theory that some people have too much money and not enough design sense.

rbarz Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yeah, it's "worth" about ten times as much as the other homes there...and it is really close to the ugly 11th St./Hempstead area. The house may be out of place and slightly obtrusive, but it's not as bad as the copy on the picture descriptions They are asking 50% more per square foot then the nicely remodeled houses in the area. It will certainly be difficult for the builder to get $1.8M for that house, but with the recent development in section 5 of Timbergrove it won't be that out of place for too long. There are 7 other new (& large) homes just built, being built or soon to be built in that section. Also, as I understand it, the builder is going to move into this home unless someone buys it. Timbergrove's values have shot up in the past three years and for good reason... where else can you get lots from 9,000 to 60,000 SF inside the loop for as little as $7.50 per square foot!?!
