I guess this house is at 2505 32nd Ave., Texas City. But it might be overpriced.

Was it the homeowner or the realtor’s idea to use a watermellon on the kitchen table instead of say, flowers or place settings?

Other than the culvert in front of the driveway, the exterior shot could be almost any number of “garage architecture” insta-neighborhoods from 1978-1983.

They have these culverts in Spring Branch and similar homes too. Of course in Spring Branch they have complete driveways.

God love the front loaders. Added to the scam of “square footage” in a house and gave more backyard in smaller lots. So builders could build more houses.

Made suicides easier too. You didn’t have to stuff a sock in the tailpipe and the neighbors couldn’t see you and stop you.

That MAY be important in Texas City.

The shot of the foyer is on the cusp of pure beauty. I love the way they have all of their “essence” on display as soon as you walk through the door. The Virgin Mary is in direct line of the front door, big crucifix to the left. Grandfather clock to the right (”It’s been in the family since 1987!”). Little knight. Cockatiel. A lot more interesting than a mini-chair and a sad floral display.

Hey, I had almost that exact shade of green on my bedroom walls from age ~12-18. It was called “Adam’s Smile”.

Come to think of it, that’s kind of like the color of my master bathroom walls, only not as bright. That is, the bathroom is brigher. The floor tiles are denim blue and the shower tiles are butter yellow. :-)

And I really cannot deal with the cute little garbage can in the kitchen. They belong under the sink or in the pantry closet. Do people really not know these things? *****************************
I had one of those before I remodeled the kitchen. There was simply no place else to put it. I was short on storage space for everything. The teenager in the house would perpetually overstuff it with pizza boxes so that the lid was waving “hi” at everyone. Hi, little trash can. Bye, little trash can.

Is that a parrot cage in the foyer?

Probably love birds. They go with the decor better. I hope the owners don’t see this.
Something tells me they’re not the Swamplot type.

It kind of looks like Jesus is watching the Hamburger Helper commercial on that big tv.
