Garden Oaks Lot for Sale – 951 W 42nd St
Garden Oaks Lot for New Construction
November Update.
The third time was the charm on this house. The first two buyers jumped in without first determining if they could build what they wanted. They then backed out. Oh well, we got decent option money and a survey out of it. It closed back on 11/08 for well over list price.
08/04 Update. MLS # 38709364 $268,000
This house was under contract, but buyer backed out. No survey is available. We have a couple of offers today.
951 W 42nd St is an elevated 7062 SF lot for sale in Garden Oaks. There is a small 1940’s house on the lot, but it is a tear down.
Finding a lot to build on in Garden Oaks is difficult. This one will go on MLS soon. The dimensions are 60 ft. frontage; 128 ft. deep; 49.3 ft. across back per HCAD.
There have been a few tear-downs on the market recently, but if in a good location, they sell quickly.
See 1054 LaMonte for a new construction home on a similar size lot. It is 3204 SF house on a 6560 SF lot, priced at $895K.
The homes surrounding this are nicely maintained. Several new homes are nearby, and others being built.
