I believe so, and of the finest materials: 30% iron, 40% titanium, 40% lead, 40% zinc, 40% dolomite and a .05% nickel

I can’t take it….

…the pool photo is the “featured” photo….

…yeah featured part of your video game graphics design portfolio.

Seriously, does this house even have a pool? I tried to find the address on google maps but it points to a shopping district. And I can’t see any white houses anywhere

I’d say don’t judge all Houston real estate by this one. I got myself a nice 3-bedroom condo in a decent neighborhood for less than $75k. I’m told that if I picked it up and moved it to the Northeast, I could get $200k for it.

What’s really freakish about it is that it’s in an incredible walkable location – literally a block from a whole bunch of restaurants, multiple Starbucks, a big grocery store, a bunch of shops… it’s one of those rare places in Houston where you could avoid driving almost entirely.

It could be worse – you could have an attic garage. There are a pair of houses on one of the roads out of Edinburgh that are built on the side of a hill. The houses are built into the hill so the garage is in the attic, and the rest of the house below

agreed! In many cases you’ll find them referred to as “acid etched tinted concrete,” but that’s not much of an improvement. They’re lovely, some of them are bona fide works of art in their own right, and they tend to be VERY expensive – you’d think they could up with something thqt doesn’t sound like someone changed their oil in the living room every three months!

This post got featured on local real estate blog “Swamplot” (www.swamplot.com), where a commenter pointed out that while the rendering shows green space around it, in reality it will be wedged in between lots of other townhouses…
