This Colorful, “Mad Men”–Style Ranch in Houston Seeks $220K
These days, it can be quite common to come across midcentury homes with price-tags well into the millions. That's why we have a hunch this 1950s Texan gem won't stay on the market for long. Located in Houston's Glenbrook Valley Historic District, the 1,844-square-foot residence sits in good company with other ranch and midcentury homes. Yet, it's when you step inside that the real time travel begins.
Nestled in the city's largest historic district, 7527 Wilmerdean Street is a midcentury time capsule with an incredible price point, particularly for first-time home buyers.
Spread across one level, the meticulously maintained dwelling features a free-flowing open layout that's chock-full of charm and period details. A large living area, perfect for parties, seamlessly connects to the bright kitchen. Vaulted ceilings enhance the home's sense of space, while expansive sliding doors create an instant indoor-outdoor connection.
A light pink entryway leads to an open great room, featuring vaulted ceilings and a brick fireplace. In addition to sliding glass doors, the area is brightly illuminated by a skylight.
The home features three bedrooms, all with original hardwood floors, as well as two full bathrooms. An attached two-car garage is also included. The 9,000-square-foot corner lot provides plenty of outdoor space, all while being conveniently located close to downtown.

The retro kitchen is located steps away from the living room, separated by a half wall. Another sitting area is around the corner.
The kitchen comes with original details, including a vintage cooktop and cabinetry. The white palette contrasts with the colorful accent wall in the dining room.
