This property is more than a house; it is a piece of history. The astronaut's connection to this home lends a one-of-a-kind touch to its value. Neil Armstrong's iconic words, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind," continue to resonate with people all across the world, and now, a lucky bidder has the opportunity to acquire a home associated with this remarkable chapter in human history.

Although the inside does not have any fancy features, the compelling aspect is that it was formerly occupied and carried significance for a famous personality, which might stimulate the interest of space aficionados in particular.

This apartment is ideally accessible to NASA's Johnson Space Centre and Space Centre Houston. From 1964 through 1971, Neil Armstrong and his family lived in this Texas home, which coincided with NASA's critical Gemini and Apollo missions.

This lovely home features four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It has a study, a built-in desk in the master bedroom, and a three-car garage. The home has a vintage feel with its original rock fireplace, elegant staircase, and pink pool deck.

Furthermore, the family room is an inviting space with huge windows that provide views of the rear pool, making it an ideal location to unwind. Melinda and Richard Sutherland, the former owners, resided in the property for 25 years, but they kept it private, rarely allowing anybody, including press crews, to tour the inside.

However, in 2020, Fox 26 had the unusual opportunity to film the interior for the first time.

"This house has a lot of great history," says Listing Agent Eric Shacklette. "The Lago neighbourhood has a long history of astronauts. When NASA originally relocated here, there were over 47 astronauts living in this community, and he was one of the first to build."

Interestingly, Neil Armstrong and his fellow astronaut Ed White, who unfortunately died on the Apollo I mission in 1967, had jointly purchased three pieces of land.

They divided the land and erected their homes exactly next to each other, forming an unbreakable relationship throughout those important years of space exploration.
