Originally listed in December at $167,000, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath, and 1-half-bath home features dramatic avian motifs and a few eye catching finishes, like the mirrored doors above.  As for the occasional bit of unfinished cabinetry or unpapered wall — just unhatched potential, which the listing says is reflected in the price. After a couple will-they-won’t-they under-contract periods and a price drop down to $159,900, the house is now free as a bird and back up on the market at $165,000. The 1972 home offers easy access to FM 1960, just a few miles east of Willowbrook Mall.

While the low ceilings and need for cosmetic updates (and probably some other age-related items) undoubtedly have a depressing impact on this home’s value, the asking price of this listing is primarily reflective of the impact of having unfortunate school zoning in a suburban area. This same home a mile away in Champions, zoned to Klein, would probably be 50% higher priced.
and so close to the everyday opportunity of being shot driving down 1960, what a bonus!
I love the cleaning supplies in the bathroom photo. It just screams “well f- it, I gave it a shot”
Stop looking at me, Swan!
