Well, fingers crossed, because I will probably close on a Mod house nearby in Spring Branch, only 5 minutes away from work. This house is WAY more salable, plus it is ready to move in with a ton up upgrades that haven't ruined the style of the house! I'll post pictures at some point after I have settled down in there. Rat Pack Martini Party? WHY NOT?

The wooded ravine was part of the property, but it was pretty much impossible to use for camping. But it would be a fun place to pretend you are a hiker.

RockM, thank you. As a quick update I made an offer, waited a week and finally got a counter offer that was way, way higher than what I wanted.

I feel this house needs a good amount of work (the gas leak they won't address being one of them) and my offer was far more than what they paid for it back in 2005. Their upgrades are of questionable value and quality. Resale in that neighborhood (or anywhere outside the loop) will be tough for a Mod house, and I must consider that too. Hell, sometimes I wonder if their upgrades were actually downgrades! So I have cold feet too, and it looks like it wasn't meant to be.

Hopefully I will get some inspiration this Saturday when I do the tour.

FYI: hate to drudge up an old thread...but I found it on google. I am a first time home buyer in West Houston with a penchant for all things Modern.

I am making an offer on this house and keeping my fingers crossed. It needs a lot of TLC, but its still an impressive Mid Century Modern.
