Architect Karl Kamrath's Midcentury Modern Home in Houston Listed for $5.2 Million
A significant piece of architectural history is now available on the real estate market in Houston, Texas. The midcentury modern home, designed by the renowned architect Karl Kamrath, is listed for $5.2 million. Located at 8 Tiel Way, this residence spans nearly 5,000 square feet and is nestled along a lush bayou. Built in 1960, the home was originally Kamrath's personal residence and has only changed hands once, from Kamrath to the current owners. The property is noted for its unique design elements, such as walls of glass that integrate the indoor space with the surrounding landscape, and a kitchen featuring cork floors, which was ahead of its time. The home has been preserved to maintain its original architectural integrity, although it is described as ready for remodeling or updating to suit a new owner's tastes.
