Poised on a large corner lot, this exceptional mid-century modern features lots of glass, but is oriented towards the backyard for more privacy. Circle drive with porte-cochere. The home does need restoration, but is attractively priced.
Side view, located in the highly-acclaimed Glenbrook Valley historic district, only about 8 miles to downtown. Named a top neighborhood by This Old House and twice by Houstonia magazine. At first glance the house might appear flat roofed, but there is a pitch to the roofline.
Gated courtyard entry, a little TLC & a mod door would make this a very impressive first impression! Plate glass window goes to front living and dining area.
There is a large, very open front living & dining area. The roman brick accent wall runs the length of the space and extends past the sliders as a wing wall, creating a private side courtyard effect.
Another view capturing the beautiful brick accent wall. Doorway to the right leads to the family room.
Looking back at the entry and the plate glass window on the opposite side of the space. Great natural light yet, still retains a private feel from the street.
Stepping back into the HUGE family room with quarry tile floors. Glass all across the back to the patio area. Very open to the kitchen and breakfast area, original geometric pattern built ins. The ceiling is slightly higher in this gigantic space.
Opposite view showing additional built ins on the far wall. More great natural light and glass in this space as well.
The spacious kitchen is very open to the den and has direct access to the formal dining.
Opposite view looking towards the breakfast room & large inside utility room. The unusual built ins are also in the breakfast room as well.
Breakfast room with original zoomy vintage light fixture and unusual built ins. Large utility room with work sink just beyond.
Primary bedroom with wood floors. Very good size room with separate dressing area.
Primary en suite bath. There is an additional dressing area between this space and the primary bedroom itself.
Secondary bedroom with wood floors and globe light fixture.
Hall bath with dual sinks and walk in shower.
Front corner bedroom with lots of windows for great natural light.
Opposite view of secondary front bedroom. All the bedrooms are a good size.
Covered patio area. While the house backs up to commercial, it's really very private. There's no "alley" behind it and basically just the wall of the building. To the right is a parking area with a garage door on the street side, then the full garage beyond it, giving parking for 4 vehicles, plus the porte-cochere in front.
Some landscaping and TLC could turn this into quite the mid-mod backyard oasis! Plenty of room for a pool and then some.

One of the most architecturally striking true mid-century moderns in the historic districts coveted northern section. Walls of glass overlook gated courtyard entry. Long open front living/dining area with interior brick accent wall stretching the length of the space & lots of glass at the far end overlooking the backyard. Large den with raised ceiling, mid-mod geometric pattern built ins & glass sliders to backyard. Spacious bedrooms. Retains many original features. 2 double garage doors provide secured parking for 4 vehicles, plus circle drive & porte cochere. Huge 12,600 SF corner lot. Rare opportunity to acquire a home of this architectural quality, only about 8 miles from downtown, not in the flood plain, at this price point. Freshly painted interior & limited inappropriate alterations to undo gives you a great blank canvas! Priced to allow for anticipated restoration needs, it's priced WELL below what other similar sized mods in the north of Bellfort sections have commanded.
