Note: Update below.
The hip roof on this 1958 modern home in Knippwood is only 7 years old, but whether it had a different shape originally isn’t clear from the outside photos — they stand back from the building on its 17,120-sq.-ft. lot. There’s no seller disclosure available, and the place is being sold “as is.” What will you find inside?

There’s plenty of original paneling and brick left in the 2,752-sq.-ft. home, but some of the floors look newer:
Four bedrooms, 2 baths in all. Just listed at $799,000.
Update, 6:08 pm: Photographer Ben Hill, who interviewed the home’s original owner and has spoken to neighbors, says the house originally was a flat-roofed mod designed by architect John Larson: “He was partners with Magruder Wingfield at the time, I think. The house was built for a Mr. J Quisenberry. Larson did a steel and glass pavilion on Briar Hollow Lane that’s since been demolished, and a modish farmhouse on Bylane in Memorial that’s owned by a Houston Mod member. Most of Knippwood had some pretty cool modern houses until recently.”

There has to be an old case on Binaca hidden in the garage somewhere.
Love it!
Nice! A very liveable place with some awesome furniture pieces.
I especially like the time-capsule sons’ bedroom.
The roof doesn’t bother me, from what I can see of it.
I like it!
Clearly a classic. I could move in tomorrow.
2 Eames Lounge Chairs? I want the one with the ottomon!!
Really nice house, and the furniture is great! I would do without the bathtub under the Wendy’s glass thing.
I actually think I like it! I’d move in there in a heartbeat, if I didn’t already have two mortgages weighing me down…I would only buy it if the furniture came with it.
While celebrating the furniture in this house, you aren’t including the leather sectional, right?
