rps324 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 For all the mod folks, this is a good one. A very, very good one. Original but well maintained. Lots of great details, all the closets but one are cedar lined. Fantastic game room, multi-level main living area with cove lights (2 kinds, regular and pink neon - what can you say) The bubble lamp comes with the house. About 3400 sq ft for $295,000.

rps324 Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 I'm already lining people up for next week. There are so many neat things in it. Up in the game room there is a screen behind this wonderful retro pattern curtain and the projector goes in a hidden compartment behind a picture on a hinge. All the retro furniture in the game room is original to the house and came with it when the current owners bought it. One odd thing is all the closets are cedar lined, all of them, except the master bedroom. The dressing table in the master has the original boom-a-rang patterned formica and the "waterfall" style drawers built in to the walls. The kitchen cabinets are suspended and it has the original thermador ovens. The front door has that great starburst plate thing. It is just a really cool house.

musicman Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 that light above the table is great. I believe it is one of those that telescopes up and down with just a pull on the handle. My parents have a similar one over their table that i won't let them get rid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rps324 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 I don't know if the e-mail went out to everyone on Houston Mod's email list yet or not, but this one will be open this Sunday as the mod of the month. 2 to 4. I am also having the Colgate one open at the same time, along with one on Glencrest and another house on Glenloch. I know another agent is having her listing at 8219 Glencrest open at the same time, and there may be another one or two open.If you have never been in the hood, this is a good opportunity to get a sort of mini-home tour.

stolitx Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Thanks for having the open houses on tour today rps. We loved it. I loved seeing your home and the Colgate house. Great day. I know I must have been passing other haifers there since the crowds were quite large. Too bad we can't seem to get the mod next to me to shape up and participate.

I know I must have been passing other haifers there since the crowds were quite large.Too bad we can't seem to get the mod next to me to shape up and participate. Oh I know. That one wouldn't be so bad if it was vacant. A moving van would solve a lot of the presentation issues with that house. The potential is there, but it needs a ton of love. Sometimes, as I know first hand, you just can't get sellers to do what they need to do no matter how many times you tell them. I was kind of surprised at the volume of turn out today. I was in the Colgate house and I think there were at least 50 or 60 people that went through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the Colgate house and I think there were at least 50 or 60 people that went through.I went as well....luckily the weather was great! The house on Santa Elena was amazing because it was so original. I liked your kitchen update. Any homeowner would beg to have that laundry room. The Colgate house needs a LOT of work. I think that HUGE den only had 4 plugs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowisp Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Those fiberglass shells are pretty easy to come by. The stools though are probably going to be a lot harder to find.For our breakfast table chairs, we were able to get original Herman Miller shells from Travis at Metro Modern on Milam. Then we went through Ebay to find knock off Eiffel Tower bases.We were also glad to see a lot of people. Lots of familiar and friendly faces were there!JasonDo they still make those type of chairs or is it a garage sale type of find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Hizzy! Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Wow, what a cool looking mod. And it's in a neighborhood I like (minus the apartment complexes along Broadway). Can't believe I missed a month's worth of this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rps324 Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 They are doing the estate sale on this one on the 10th, 9 to 4. The game room section will be closed off as those items are not included in the estate sale, but the rest of the house will be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
