samagon Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 two words that should never describe farm finishes are modern and designer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastdwntwn Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 This group did something similar in 2016. The townhomes are slightly nicer than the ones in the surrounding area but way for expensive. https://www.har.com/homedetail/2518-pease-st-houston-tx-77003/13362800 If I'm not mistaken, the three town homes sold for 500K 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 that fireplace looks like a dead snow leopard. for townhome layouts, this one doesn't actually suck. having the living/dining/kitchen on the first floor makes so much sense compared to having 1 random BR on the first floor, then LR/DR/K on the second floor, followed by the 3rd floor with the main BR, and an 3rd BR. it needs a larger footprint for the common areas to be on the first floor with a garage and not feel cramped, which is probably why they are a premium price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly my situation is not everyone's situation, but this townhome layout works perfectly for me. I'm able to rent out the first-floor bedroom, my roommate and I have privacy being separated by a floor, but can congregate in the middle when we're feeling social.

cspwal Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 I like the floor plan, but I think the exterior would look much better styled like a brownstone LIKE ITS NEIGHBOR There was a development a block away that advertised “first floor living” and “large yards” that were also around $700k before COVID, but they were also nicer houses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like no gas appliances in the kitchen, too. And, no vent hood, unless it's behind the stove, which isn't going to work that well. Overall, I give this one a blecch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samagon Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 it looks like it has one of those fancy popup hoods that sits in the island. and yeah the lack of rounding on the drywall corners, that's pretty standard these days even on midrange stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
