It's enough of a time capsule that I kind of like it.

What I would've liked to have seen is what the place looked like before it was remodeled 45-50 years ago. The brick in the last picture looks like it's from another decade or so earlier and hints that there may be some good midcentury bones hiding behind that '70s redo.
County says it was built in '71.

Interesting, the brick makes a whole lot more sense now that I can see the context that it's in.

I still say it could be a cool place as-is if you're able to go old school with the decor inside.

Our realtor very hesitantly sent this to us, since we are open to houses that don't interest a typical buyer. Anywhere else, I could see it being a gem. But it's definitely not something I would expect to see in a quiet mountain town!

Allll that quirkiness, and then a very bland kitchen.

That place needs mega sliding doors in place of all those windows to see the views.

The picture with the boulder in the middle of the room popped up on here a while back. I always wondered what the rest of the house looks like.


Now I know. Thank you.

We love weird houses, but this one is a bit too unique for us. It's a part of the towns history, so I wouldn't want to touch anything in it!

I LOVE this house. Would buy it in a heartbeat if I weren't tied down to Texas for the next few years.

We were possibly going to go check it out, but then saw how small the secondary bedrooms are. Annnnd the proximity to a super busy road was a hard no for us. I did tell my husband that I've always wanted an indoor pond, and a giant rock!

Dining room looks like it's about a mile from the kitchen on the floorplan.

I like the place even though the walls remind me of a game that was on The Price is Right

With all those tube walls throughout the house, someone could fart in the master bathroom and smell it throughout the whole house.

That's at least the third different house I've seen with a giant boulder in it. Who knew that was a thing?!?

Good grief, don't lead your listing with this confusing and uninformative photo. (especially when there are better options)

Yet another lovely elevation on a $1million home.



HAR listing for this lovely home.

But, Let's be honest, this pantry is AWESOME!



When will the gray trend be over? SO MUCH gray. It looks like a black & white photo.



Oh, and it's like they said to themselves, "Let's only update 1/2 of this house we want to sell for $1 million; no one will ever see the upstairs, right? I've GOT to have gray walls... but I don't want to mess with my warm beige carpets." I actually prefer the upstairs.

What is great about gray and whites is that you can layer color on top of it with the ability to change it over time without remodeling. You add some indoor plants and color with art and accent pillows. You went heavy with blue accents and now green is trending in. You swap all the accents and update the house.

Based on how it looks like they had to cram the paper towels in to make 6 rolls fit, I'm not sure a fat man would be able to turn around in there.

That bathroom isn't that bad. They need some wood tones to balance it out. Redo the cabinet facades and doors with wood like walnut or maple. Throw some greenery in there and it wouldn't look like the bathroom fight scene to open Casino Royal.

Those cabinets were beautiful brown to begin with. Look at the cabinets upstairs and the wood in the pantry. I'm tired of people painting over high quality wood cabinets because it's the trend. Paint crappy cabinets, not high-end wood cabinets.

BTW, emoji is for the painting of high-end wood cabinets, not your comment.

That link is a rabbit hole. I highly recommend NOT clicking it if you have anything else you should be doing.

So thanks for that.

That's a pretty standard issue interior in Sugar Land. Not a lot of interest in farmhouse or rustic.

I don't know. Seems to channel Delores Umbridge a lot. I'm sure there's a couple 'I must not tell lies' quills floating around New Territory.

I agree with a lot of what you said. Coming from someone who lives in a house where every painted wall is white, there's just too much of it going on there. Too many wood tones clashing with one another and it all jumps out at you when the floor is white along with either white or gray on the walls.

A lot of what was done there ignores the hard finishes so overall it comes off like a bunch of different things someone saw on HGTV or pinterest and decided to try bits and pieces of. In the end it doesn't work all that well.

At the end of the day, however, if I have to choose between well-built and pretty, give me well-built every time. The architect can be a genius, but the materials, skilled labor, and giving a darn are the things that the occupants inside have to live with.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough
