NenaE Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) What a beautiful landscape layout. Walnut Bend has always held such nice residential designs. Hopefully this one will fall into mid-century appreciative hands. Unfortunately, it has seen some slight interior remodeling. Not good, but easy rectified with the correct, period worthy interior architecture selections. Edited November 8, 2014 by NenaE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodface Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hello Nena, the house is wonderful but is unfortunately in very bad shape. I think it's overpriced by at least $70k, if not more given the repairs it would need to address the sagging roof, water damage, and foundation problems. However, seeing how overheated the market is right now, and with all the new corporate buildings going up nearby, I would not be surprised (albeit very sad) if there is new construction on that lot by this time next year.

BenH Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 For that much money, I'm not having a shower curtain. Sorry. Cool house, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 That's too bad, those flat roofs come with their own debilitating issues. It's unfortunate to see so many mid-century modern designs in that area of Houston suffer such neglect, or fall. Yeah, I agree, the market has gone crazy. There are faults running through that area, as well, from ground water extraction... they are north of WB, cross I-10/ Beltway and into Spring Branch.

rodface Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Nena, Regarding the Long Point fault, I have a copy of the fault study done by the engineering company and a 1970 USGS survey of it. Let me know if you're interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 Thank You.. My environmental science professor taught us about the fault issues, and gave us a visual tour of some of the surfaces affected, a while back. It's a interesting study.
