A reader notes an agent’s efforts to sell the sleek 1956 mod at 434 Faust Ln. in Memorial Bend — the 2,233-sq.-ft. property was listed at the end of last week for $549,000 — on those little conveniences. Reads the listing caption to the image at left: “Large custom travertine shower niches are big enough to accommodate shampoo bottles purchased from Costco.” [HAR, via Swamplot inbox]

Not sure what’s left with this house that’s “mid-century modern”. No ubiquitous Eames lounge chair here. It looks like it’s been thoroughly brought into the 1990′s with Home Depot and Costco updates.
Yes, it’s been butchered. My guess is that it used to look like 438 Faust before someone built out the garage. Take a look at 438 (and 430) Faust using Google Streetview if you want to be sad.
Still… if the bones are good, it could probably be restored to 438 condition without too much trouble, and you’d have adjoining neighbors with good taste.
Alas, is more likely to end up like 422…
