You just built the Astrodome and want a new house for your family. What will it be?

Imagine for a moment your H.A. Lott, builder of the Astrodome and many ther unique structures in Texas.   What would you build for yourself, your family.  Imagine the experience, materials, know how and resources he had at his disposal.  To put in perspective: The Astrodome has over 4600 skylights, cost 35 million to build in 1968, 61 million to expand in 1989.  Current plans include razing for 128 million or renovation and conversion to something elaborate costing over a billion. It now costs the city over 4.4 million in interest and maintenence costs per year. The Astrodomes AC capacity is over 6000 tons of cooling power for approximately 400000 cubic feet of air (really an estimate pi x r2 (diam710)  Massive...Hate to pay that power bill...           

The Lott's home would have a unique flair and style all its own.  Much like most of his undertakings this house and setting were to be something unique to the city of Houston.  In this architectural marvel, like the Astrodome, it is all metal and concrete, short of the doors and trim of course.  He employed architects Mackie and Kamrath, followers and prodigies of one Americas most infamous and favorite architects: Frank Lloyd Wright.  The design exudes the Usonian and Organic style of FLW's teachings,  from the understated entry to the cantilevered balcony.        

Like many of FLW's designs the Lott House rests on and into a hillside.  This home quietly overlooks the water and golf course in Sugar Land's lovely Sugar Creek subdivision.  The views from inside are spectacularly serene. Each room has a view. There is simply nothing like it in Houston.    

This home is located at 818 Sugar Creek Boulevard.  A 4424 square foot interior, two car garage on a 36024 square foot lot, 4 Bedrooms with individual full baths.  I could go on with the description, but the visual treat will surpass any wimpy verbalization I conjur up.  

We must recognize the current owners, Eddie and Sharon Grosman, who painstakingly updated and remodeled this home since their acquistion from the Lott estate in 2007.  They have done a wonderful job managing and designing the updates while maintaining the original design integrity.    

We represent the listing at $899,500.  mls # 88811488

It's not often we as Realtors have such a wonderful opportunity to market such a unique and historically rich property.  

Have a great day!
