I got to say

The house at 1207 Maxine St. is just one huge talking point after another.

I spy:
a finished basement (practically unheard of in this area of Texas)
a water well with mechanical pump
fireplace of brick doom
- the mantle is made from the masonry work itself, rather than a wood mantle added afterward
amazing tile and cabinetry - for the 60's
(seriously, you can tell this house was top of the line when it was built)
is that original shag carpet in a bedroom?
1960's built-in radio in the kitchen cabinet above the bar

gonna go for it?

Because that looks good.

Nah.

It's above my comfortable price range for living on my own, and I'm not keen on the location. It's just really nifty to gawk at. I'd rather have something more modern or that I could make more modern without guilt. I would feel so ridiculously guilty updating this house. It should be more like a museum house or something for all of its dated awesomeness. You can tell it's actually in pristine condition despite its dated decor.

I bet that radio still works.

It would definitely need redos, but with some thought, it could be done with respect to and in keeping with it's history. Giving a facelift rather than a complete restructure.

The price tag is pretty high, tho.
