I am the Listing agent on this home, what Homedopot special?
Kimberley is priced to sell it is a great deal but needs work. The master bath is original. Thats it.
I am sorry if you feel I am dangerous, but the house was built in 1960 and needs work.
What Neighborhood do you live in, lets make sure your story is correct.

ACK !!!!
This is one of the noted houses from the "Contemporary Center" promotion of Kimberly as "Houston's One Block Long Idea Street."
The listing realtor is dangerous to original houses. The same realtor worked the purchase of a contemporary house in my neighborhood that had original period bath tile, light fixtures, etc, and 'rehabbed' it into just another yucky homedepot special. They've now got it for sale for an unrealistic price, didn't get approval for any of the work they did, etc.
What CAN be done is for the Kimberly house .... a concerned neighbor or individual could talk to the owner and convince them to put a clause into the contract to prevent the house from being torn down for x years. It might be worth a shot.
And, yes, Memorial Plaza is turning into teardown central. Those houses are too nice to have this happen.
Somebody save it, please ....
