Weird house, but a lot of house for your money (aside from being next to Acres Homes).

Aww … its a sweet house in a pretty neighborhood. I took those pictures for the listing agent. That little under-the-stairs wet bar is just creative use of space. Go see it and make an offer!
commonsense
Are we getting an infection of the Google search result seeders again with “conveniently” pro-listing comments when the house is obviously in the terrible hood?

Spoonman, the doorway to the nook under the stairs is shaped like the number 1.

Isn’t that area sort of a buffer zone between muggings and McMansions?
Sadz
Commonsense – I have zero connection to this listing, nor the neighborhood, other than having been there. I have to agree that Candlelight Oaks is really a very nice neighborhood. Hardly “terrible” as you claim. Whoever buys and renovates this place will have a wonderful home. Perhaps you should take a break from being so sullen and actually go take a look.
Spoonman.
Sihaya: OHHHHH

Thanks for the chuckle, and hats off to whoever noticed the visual pun.
Old School
The revisions to Chap 42 mean that the fringes of Oak Forest, Garden Oaks and Spring Branch can be built up with lots of townhomes and other inner loop-esque density. Given that you now have to shell out $500-800k to live in OF, GO or many parts of Spring Branch, I would bet that, all things constant, this listing would be seen as a steal in five to ten years.
And, no. I did not get the no. 1 until I read the comments.
commonsense
@Sadz, that sounded like another plug to me. Both commenters claim nice neighborhood (nevermind the daily stabbings) and “Go see it”. You ain’t fooling anybody.

Trollin ain’t easy, and so is getting a free pass on SwampLot.

Too close to Antoine for comfort.
Show Me Please
Its sad that people are SO quick to categorize a neighborhood they have obviously never visited. I have a friend who lives on this street, and the homes all show great pride of ownership.
I…don’t get it.
