This cute little puppy at 10142 Apple Creek Drive in Dallas has been updated and is ready for Mama Bear, Papa Bear and the cubs to move right in. 2619 square feet with three bedrooms, three baths and two living areas. Built in 1979 but totally updated from the studs — new kitchen with those…
With Dallas real estate inventory at an all time low, about the only way you can find listings is by having a savvy agent who is worth their weight in Hip Pockets — that is, homes for sale that are not listed in MLS. (Or, ha ha, reading this blog.) Lookie at this precious brick…
Just what everyone needs in their home, a shark tank and spray-on tanning room. I’m starting on mine tomorrow! First of all, the Texas connection to this 44,954 square foot home going up in Tarpon Springs, Florida — a cute Greek fishing village near Tampa/St. Pete — is that the owners are Texans. Who, we…
It looks like Kenneth Robinson will NOT be getting a house for $16 after all. This morning, in the tiny metropolis of Roanoke, Texas, at Justice of the Peace Precint #4, JP J. W. Hand ruled in favor of Bank of America, the lender who apparently acquired the note on the abandoned house from Accredited Home Lending, who held the original mortgage. It was that financial failure glitch that gave Robinson the chance to live scot-free — or for $16 — for more than six months in a beautiful Flower Mound neighborhood not too far from the sprawling million dollar estates of Argyle. Robinson was given until Feb. 13 to move, but he is now out of the house. The swimming pool is back to green. Neighbors say he started moving out last Thursday at about 11:20 p.m. and had a van in front of the house this weekend. (And my stalking turned up an empty house Saturday night.) In a phone interview with reporters, Robinson said he was gone and leaving behind a futon and a TV — the futon, he said, belongs to someone else anyhow. (Neighbors say a lot of people have been staying at the house.) He has moved on and is not saying where he has moved. If he wants to appeal the case, he must put up an $8900 bond, which he says he will not do. And a check with Denton County shows Robinson also did not pay the property taxes on 2205 Waterford which were due January 31. He also did not pay the annual $300ish HOA dues.
I’m in Roanoke in Denton County where Bank of America has just tossed the famous Flower Mound Squatter out of 2205 Waterford Drive in nearby Flower Mound.
