"Exceptional and historic sophisticated Mid-Century Modern home designed by Karl Kamrath. Secluded hillside location above a wooded ravine. Only two owners since it was built in 1960. It is now ready for remodeling, updating or re-building (69,003 SF lot) to your personal taste. Property location was originally chosen by the wife for the sloping nature toward the bayou. A historically significant home it has appeared on Rice Design and Houston Modern Home Tours. Preserved original design with soaring ceilings, hardwood and cork floors and a lower (1st floor) that is very large. Come and see for yourself."
