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.
A bright yellow front door offers a warm welcome to residents and visitors alike.
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.
