Great location with distant views of million dollar homes in the Reserve.  Restrictions are minimal. Modulars allowed under certain conditions.  Contact Agent for more information. 830-995-2511.

Directions:  From SA, take I-10 to FM 1341. Turn right. Go 1 block. Turn left on Wiedenfeld.  There is NOT a sign on this property so you will need to contact agent to preview.  Thanks.  Julie 830-995-2511.

MARKET STATISTICS – CENTER POINT TEXAS

I had a client ask me recently about the real estate market in Center Point, Texas. Here’s the data for the last 3 years:

CPSales0709

For the 6 months just ended, here is the data as compared with the preceding two years:

CPSalesJanJune0810Our experience has shown us that the more rural areas have been slower to recover than in town.  This year is showing promise for Center Point … but we’ll have to wait and see.  There are a lot of properties that have been on the market for quite some time. A lot of what IS selling is that which has been deeply discounted.

We watch the market daily for our clients so if you would like assistance locating the “deals” that are out there, please give us a call at 830-995-2511.

119 IDLEWILDE: PROGRESS AS OF 6/18/10

We’ve had several people ask about our current project house located at 119 Idlewilde in Comfort.  Here’s a couple of before’s and afters:

DSC01329DSC01366

The exterior of the house had not been maintained for some time.  The shingles inside the peaks were in very bad shape and so we made the decision to replace them.  It was a very time consuming job as each shingle had to be cut to fit.IMG_0110resizedIMG_0094resized The paint colors are Silver Sage/White Glove. I am very pleased with the way it looks … Crisp and clean!  The front door still has to be painted.

The interior has changed dramatically.  We bought it from a guy who had already started work on it.  He had demo’d  the entire inside.    The kitchen cabinets were still in place.  DSC01021 DSC01023We felt like the kitchen area was too small so we opened the kitchen to include the back porch and then added another porch on the back to replace the one we used in the kitchen.

The original home was a 3 bedroom, 1 bath home.  It has now been converted into a 2 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath main home plus a functional office/artist studio (previously a storage building).

When we purchased the property (from the first renovator that was unable to complete the project), the middle bedroom had been divided into 2 large bathrooms with 2 huge contemporary walk in showers. We felt like that didn’t fit the period and wasn’t very practical either.  We converted the two extremely large bathrooms into (i) 2 smaller but ample bathrooms one with a walk-in closet plus (ii) we converted part of the space into a  a half bath open to the living that also included a small laundry area (e.g., with a stack washer and dryer).

The master bedroom now also has a spacious master closet which was created by an addition to the back of the house.  Previously, there were no closets at all and the laundry area had been in the well house outside.

The kitchen/living area is now completely open.  There is great natural lighting. Granite countertops have been installed and the floors have been sanded.  We are contemplating staining them dark.  We refaced the fireplace with Guadalupe River stone. A new mantle still needs to be installed.

IMG_0091resizedIMG_0092resized

IMG_0098resizedIMG_0100resizedIMG_0103resizedThe back has changed dramatically due to the additions.  The porch has two stairways … one to the garage and one to the studio.  Wow! I love how it all is turning out!
