Abstract: Pull up those fringes and press play on your favourite Michael J. Fox movie. This 1980s building is guaranteed to take you back to the future.

Architect Ralph A. Anderson, who also worked on the Houston Astrodome, debuted this 3,294 square foot modern home in West Central Houston in 1988.

 

The striking home was recently listed for $465,000 and is awaiting sale.

 

"We received an offer within 12 hours of listing," said Mark Fontenot of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty-Central Houston Brokerage." I was surprised. I knew it [would] either be so popular or it would sit on the market for six months because it was unique and different."

That "unique and different" quality ended up being the selling point for the one-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath townhouse, and Fontenot says buyers were attracted to the home's "sleek, modern design".

 

The steel-framed brick house has only had two owners.

 

In years past, the house was gifted to Houston Christian University by the estate of the family who commissioned the architect to design it.

"This property was his last architectural project before he retired," says Anderson's Fontenot." He retired and passed away a few years later."

 

The home's open floor plan spans three floors and is connected by a floating staircase that rises from the entrance near a half-moon shaped courtyard.

 

In the sunken living room, 21-foot-high ceilings coax in natural light.

"It's in very good condition," Fontenot says." It's in pristine condition. They haven't changed anything. It still looks very much like it did in 1988."

 

Some of the original features include a curved glass block wall at the entrance and a brick fireplace. The kitchen has yellow silestone worktops and a backsplash imported from Spain.

 

Fontenot notes that the lift to the first floor could easily be extended to the third floor.

 

The home also has a two-car garage and is just a few steps from the community pool.

"The design itself is very different from the rest of the community," Fontenot says.

 

He adds that its interior space stands out in comparison to the smaller homes around it that are "closer to 2,500 square feet".

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the 80s time machine seems to have charmed its next owner.

 

"According to the buyer's agent, [they] don't plan to make any changes to the house," Fontenot says.
