Remember this house from July, featured as the subject of our weekly Neighborhood Guessing Game? Yeah, the one with the wacky carpet in the garage apartment. On the corner of N. Macgregor and Wildwood Way, on the left bank of Brays Bayou in lowest Idylwood.
Well, the pre-Hurricane-Ike storm surge brought it some problems. Sad photos below:

You can see the floodline clearly in the closeup.
The house is still listed for sale on HAR, at the same price. It looks like there’s plenty of work to do.

I feel very, very sad for the owners of this property. The previous owners were flooded as well, and so far the Brays Bayou work has been for naught. You can tell that a lot of work went into this property, and perhaps its fate (and those of a couple surrounding properties) will lie with a bulldozer and a check from FEMA. Very sad, indeed.
