Rare opportunity in Spring Shadows – an original-owner estate on the market for the first time in decades, priced for its next chapter. Renovated homes on these streets command far higher prices, so the upside is real: build long-term equity, or renovate and flip for profit.
Single story, 2,283 sq ft, four bedrooms and two full baths, formal living and dining, a family room with brick fireplace, a detached two-car garage, and a fully fenced yard with mature trees – inside Beltway 8 and zoned to Spring Branch ISD. James Hardie fiber-cement siding (2024).
Sold AS-IS; the estate is exempt from the Seller’s Disclosure Notice (Tex. Prop. Code 5.008(e)). Flood Zone X. Cash, conventional or renovation financing (FHA 203k / Fannie Mae HomeStyle) welcome. Bring your vision.
What this is – and what it is not. This is an estate-sale renovation opportunity in original 1971 condition, priced at roughly $158 per square foot to reflect the work it needs. It is not a move-in-ready home. The property is in Flood Zone X (FIRM panel 48201C), 2025 property taxes are paid in full, and every system should be independently evaluated by your own licensed inspectors during the option period.

No. It sold. The home was listed on HAR at $359,900 on 08/19/2026 by Sean McFarlin, Lion Drive Realty, went under contract within a week, and closed on September 11, 2026. This page is kept for reference.
The seller is exempt. The property is being sold by the independent executor of a decedent’s estate, and Tex. Prop. Code §5.008(e) exempts a transfer by a fiduciary in the course of administering an estate. The executor never occupied the home, so he has no first-hand knowledge of its systems.
Original 1971 condition throughout. It has not been updated and is sold strictly AS-IS. Expect to budget for a full cosmetic renovation and to have every system independently evaluated.
We are not licensed plumbers and will not offer an opinion on the plumbing system. We strongly recommend every buyer engage their own licensed plumber to inspect the property during the option period, along with a licensed general inspector.
Standard FHA and VA loans are generally not a fit for a home in this condition, because those programs have minimum property requirements. Cash, conventional, and renovation financing such as FHA 203(k) or Fannie Mae HomeStyle are the realistic paths. Talk to your lender early.
The property is in Flood Zone X, outside the mapped special flood hazard area, on FIRM panel 48201C. We have not been provided with a flood history for the home and make no representation about whether it has ever taken water. A buyer should ask for an elevation certificate and check available flood databases.
The 2025 tax rate was 2.44112 and the total levy was approximately $9,065. Both the Harris County and Spring Branch ISD portions were paid in full for 2025. Note that Spring Branch ISD bills separately from the Harris County Tax Office. Your own payment will depend on the assessed value after sale and any exemptions you qualify for.
Yes. The property is subject to mandatory membership in the Spring Shadows Civic Association: $340 per year, plus a $250 transfer fee at closing. Dues cover common grounds.
No existing survey has been located, so no T-47 affidavit will be provided. A buyer should plan to order a new survey.
The home is zoned to Spring Branch ISD: Terrace Elementary, Spring Oaks Middle School, and Spring Woods High School per HAR. Always verify attendance zones directly with the district, since boundaries change.
The home is vacant and easy to show – showing approval is go-and-show. Schedule through your agent via ShowingSmart, or contact Sean directly at 936-283-4176 to set a time.
The Estate of Betty Sue Brenneman, acting through William Paul Brenneman as Independent Executor. Title has been examined and the executor has sole authority to sign.
The home is vacant and easy to show. Book through your agent via ShowingSmart, or reach out and I will set a time that works – same day is usually possible.
