A house in Wichita Falls, Texas for sale

That closet!!!
Wichita Falls is a nice little town. We often spend the night there on our way to Amarillo. We also used to go there for the Hotter'N Hell ride, and yes it is that hot!! LOL

Not a thing in there looks 1920s. I don't like their decor and that's ruining the whole thing for me.

I had a 1920 house but it was rather plain, no one had done a thing to it for the most part other than maintenance, central air, bathroom upgrades. I loved that house.

I'd buy it just for the closet in the master, my shoe collection and I could be very, very happy in there.

They need another yard sale. So much STUFF.

Great bones on that house though.

Definitely the lived in look. I can't imagine not having beds made in pristine form for realtor photos. lol

depressing! thank you; yes, that's the word. I don't think it has any sort of vintage, original feel to it at all.

Not my style at all, even if it were decluttered inside. But it absolutely boggles my mind that you can buy a 4000+ sf home with a pool for $400k ANYWHERE.

Yes, but does it have a basement? A storm shelter? Because it's in tornado alley.

I lived there for 3 1/2 months back in 1988. For the last month and a half, which was during tornado season, I was terrified every day. Then-husband was on AF base 12 hours a day and I was just off base in an apartment with windows front and back, and only a freaking closet to hide in. Which I did. Several times. First time I ever saw large hail, the remnants of an ice storm, a wall cloud, and multiple funnels. Yeah. I hated it there (I love weather but I am terrified of tornadoes). The weather there is insane pretty much all year (ice, snow, hail, wind, tornadoes, heat...)Didn't help that I was really ill the entire time too (undiagnosed gallstones). Not a good time.

While it's always fun to peek inside other people's houses that house sure has a lot going on inside. It needs some serious decluttering. All the stuff distracted from really noticing all the historic charm of the house.

I seriously hate the oversized columns on the front of the house. They just look ridiculous to me. I would loved to have seen what the house looked like before they changed everything, and it would have been nice to see them keep some of the period detail. My clothes would barely fill a quarter of that dressing room, so I think I would be turning it into a craft room instead.

The kitchen is far too small for a house that big.

I couldn’t see enough of the bones of the house because of all the stuff. I know that feels homey to some people but just makes my anxiety skyrocket. I’m with the pea who said they’d trade closet space for a larger kitchen, or at least a large master bath. Longer rooms (and I realize some of that is the photos) with short ceilings make me feel antsy as well. The built-ins are nice, but I see them and think about all of the stuff that would be visible, and also need to be dusted.

I don’t know if that’s practical there, the ground might be pretty solid rock. That’s an issue with a lot of central Texas anyway, not sure around WF. We actually had a tornado warning the other day. I was gathering my phone, ipad, and clothes (cause I was naked  ) and heading down to our first floor. Not only are basements not financially practical here, but our entire downstairs floor plan is open so I don’t have a single room to shelter in. They are all against an outer wall and all have tons of windows. So I laid down on the couch to read and decided if I heard the train coming I would have to flip over our huge, heavy couch against a wall and hope for the best!

Just read that NYS, MA have a tornado watch until later tonight. That’s unusual isn’t it?

Lies. She tells lies.
