Showings start at the open house, Sunday, Oct 10th 2-4pm. The 1960’s might have been about change, but this 1960 atomic ranch has endured and persisted in its original layout and design. 8215 Colgate is a Mid Century Mod custom built home in the historically designated Glenbrook Valley neighborhood. Inside the 3-bedroom, 3.5 bath home on the highly desirable Colgate Street you step back to the glory of entertaining in the formal living and dining or meander through the expansive family room to lounge on the back patio or in the pool. House sits on a 11,160 sq foot lot (HCAD). The owners have lovingly added recessed lighting in areas and removed all carpet. The washer and dryer are in a large room that is the perfect craft, office, plant room or sunroom. The terrazzo tile is throughout the main areas of the house and wood flooring is in all bedrooms. Update sheet is available for review. All info per Seller.
