Shawnee brave bald cypress near house, ok or bad idea?

I bought a shawnee brave bald cypress last week and now am having buyers remorse. i really like the look the look of them but im just worried it could turn into a monstrosity (granted that might not happen till im long gone anyway but i still dont want to leave the future owner a giant headache). nurseries list them as 50-75 with 15-30ft spread foot but after doing more research i read the parent tree like the parent tree 80 ft tall at around 50 years old. I planted it kinda between my house and my neighbors house in a tightish space, its about 15 feet away from my house and maybe 20-25 from his. If it were to fall in a storm hit would hit the bedroom areas of the houses too. Is it going get too big/dangerous for that area? Also I've read mixed things about the mess, some places ive read they are super messy others say they have nice small needles that just disappear in the lawn. Did i make a bad decision and should i plant something else while i can or will it be ok.
