re: A modern home of glass and steel for sale in Houston, Texas for $3.1M

I made a comment in another thread that buying a house in the Heights, River Oaks, or Montrose is dumb to do in Houston. If you just go 10 miles west to like Briarwood, they're very affordable. Here's an example I found last night:
Heights neighborhood: $650k for 1400 sq ft 2 bedroom, 2 bath, no yard basically, kinda older home
Briardwood neighborhood: $400-450k for 3,000 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 3 bath, sizeable yard, newer house.
Only difference is one is a 12 minute further drive to downtown than the other. Save the money and put it in the SP 500, not to mention less debt which interest rates typically are slightly higher than what houses appreciate at.

If your wife or daughter are hot, beware neighbor kids with drones.

Not sure why this got downvoted. FLooding is a much bigger concern there than wind.

Click on the link to see the whole home and orientation, and that’s a great crib. All of those are from the rear which appears to be wooded and facing a creek. It’s a reno to a mid-century single story ranch, and I think they did an awesome job turning the rear into a split level contemporary home.

I’m in. I can shoot wood ducks from the back yard!!

It’s almost as if people pay more to be in close proximity to shops, restaurants, and things to do.

Is that Cameron Frye's house?

In 20-30 years it will look just as outdated as shag carpet

That creek is Buffalo Bayou which is well known for flooding on a regular basis.

A/C bill probably off da charts.

I friggin love it. All the glass is on the private, wooded backside. The street side is just an ordinary ‘60’s/‘70’s style mid-century ranch… very understated but still cool.
The ceramic flat-top induction stove has got to go, though.

I don't hate that style if it's set far away from other, more traditional houses in the neighborhood.
You'd also want that since everyone can see in your place.
