Scott08 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I wonder what would happen if you told them you actually wanted to keep the house? How much of the new house is built into that price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willowisp Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!I LOVE THAT HOUSE!I love Old Braeswood and that house is one of the anchors of the modern part of the neighborhood.So - to the realtor that I just responded to in the other post - see what you're up against?! As much as your clients want to buy a mod and restore it, someone else wants to see it torn down.This is a crying shame.Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banking214 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Bummer, great lot with a nice looking home.I do have to say that this particular builder constructs very nice homes. While I may not be a fan of the faux mediterranean look, his tend to incorporate higher quality materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan the Man Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 (edited) I do have to say that this particular builder constructs very nice homes. While I may not be a fan of the faux mediterranean look, his tend to incorporate higher quality materials.The exterior finishes may be expensive, but I would not call their homes "nice". Whoever designs Covington's homes has no sense of scale; all the architectural components are huge, giving their homes a chunky and crude appearance. While the design intent is there, the results need some additional refinement to qualify as "nice".

Willowisp Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I dropped by and took a look yesterday and the camera angle they got on this picture is amazing. It makes the house look so tiny, when it's actually pretty big. I also took notice that there isn't really that much new construction in the neighborhood compared to Tanglewood or Bellaire. The neighborhood is an interesting mix of "West U" style 2 storys and mid-century ranch homes. I took my own pictures so when I get them out of the camera I'll post them.
