On a cul-de-sac’s wedge lot in The Woodlands neighborhood of Cochran’s Crossing, an updated 1987 home with an outdoor oasis (top) has back fence access to forested pathways and a putting green of The Woodlands Country Club’s Palmer course. The park-like property teed off in early April, but sank its asking price by $30,100 earlier this week to rest at $269,900.

A 2-sided chimney stakes a claim between the living and dining areas, which share a view of the back yard’s poolside retreat:

  • I like it even more now.

  • Ugg… Pulte home with bad updates. It doesn’t know what style it wants to be.

  • Screw the house, I love the grounds. Lose the aspidistras, though; aucubas would be much nicer if excess shade is the issue. Azaleas or camellias would be nice if there was light filtered by the tall pines; channeling Bayou Bend here. Sorry for not being more native, but native shade plants are hard to come by.

  • I give you a light pat on the ass for “Par Tee Time.” Good game.
