retromodernjeff Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) Awesome, any info on this one? Was it really built in 1975? Of course it has the obligatory "amazing site for new construction" which really translates into "put up your fugly EFIS stucco mcmansion that will be mold infested before your mortgage is paid off" corrected link, thanks Edited April 10, 2009 by retromodernjeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronTiger Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 The link seems to be broken. Here is a corrected version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domus48 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Built in 1975? That date and the style represented do not seem correct... that's not to say that this type of architecture was not being produced but it certainly was not in favor. This is a nice example of modern architecture, there certainly has to be a name associated with it. Anyone care to do some digging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenH Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Already have; I've spoken with both the realtor and the owner. They don't know the architect, but it was actually built closer to 1980, and supposedly a woman was the architect. It's an interesting house; custom exotic wood floors. That's all I've got, though.

sevfiv Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Yeah, closer to 1980 seems right - the 1976 directory doesn't list anything before 11601 Green Oaks Dr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenH Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Also, the owner and realtor want to find someone that will preserve the house, but the owner needs to see quickly, so that may not be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmer Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Doesn't appear to be Val Glitsch or Natalye Appel, might be a little early for them. Ditto Carrie Glassman Shoemake and Nonya Grenader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott08 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 From the pictures the house looks to be in good shape and already has some "updates" i.e. the granite countertops so it looks to me like someone who likes the style could move right in. Does see pretty high for lot value only, even in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeats Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Jesus, what a gorgeous house. Especially when lit up at night (from the few photos) on there. And the pool - gah. Love, love, love.Why would anyone want to tear this down??? (It's a rhetorical question...) It looks in excellent condition. But you never know with Houston...

I think something like 6 months is a normal market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
