Some houses possess a certain vibe.
A four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath property recently listed for sale in Castle Hills with a $850,000 price tag somehow represents a lot of different vibes.
There are touches left over from when it was built in 1972, including paneling on some walls. Meanwhile, the pressed-tin ceilings in the kitchen hearken back to early last century, and a room-by-room hodgepodge seems to spring from different eras and schools of design.
The 3,400-square-foot home could be a fixer-upper or a ready-to-go groovy pad. It sits on a half-acre with a swimming pool, so there is plenty of room for salad days in the sun. A first-floor sunroom and a large covered second-floor balcony provide views of the tree-studded lot and neighborhood.
Terrazzo tile carries from the sidewalk into the foyer, family room, kitchen and bar, while another patterned tile makes the living room with a beamed high ceiling pop. The decorative pressed-tin ceiling tiles from the past look down on the modern touch of light-colored marble countertops.
Ornate tiles and wallpapers and contemporary sink basins that sit on top of the vanities bring character to several of the bathrooms.
