Published in Atomic Ranch magazine, Houston House & Home & Culturemap, this spectacular mid-century modern is a piece of art you get to live in!
One of the original model homes for Glenbrook Valley, this architectural jewel was part of the Greater Houston Builder's Association's 1954 Parade of Homes show. It received a Good Brick award from Preservation Houston. Designed to compliment it's terraced setting, you won't find anything comparable!
The front facade with stacked mint stone, and modernist screening.
Enter into the dining area with refinished original hardwood floors. Obviously there's no shortage of natural light in this beauty!
The floor plan was way ahead of its time, with the open concept with the kitchen to the left and the large living area staggered just below.
An incredibly spacious and open feel. Indirect lighting down one side.
No shortage of WOW factor in this full-throttle mid-century mod!. Modernist flooring, (no carpet) incredible walls of glass to take in the large terraced backyard.
The glass wraps around the entire rear of the home. This is no "tract home mod", you can tell this was a show home built to impress the 100,000 people who came out in the 50's for the Parade of Homes shows.
Beautiful from every angle. Additional windows on the street side for even more natural light.
Stepping back up into the dining and kitchen area. Note the parquet pattern detailing below the bar.
The open concept kitchen is original. It still retains it's original walnut cabinetry paired with updated appliances and countertops.
A better shot of the parquet detailing. Large pantry to the right, but there is also a utility room/pantry area behind the kitchen.
Updated appliances, more window space, the door leads to a laundry and pantry area.
The original walnut cabinetry has all been restored. Look at how open it is!
The floor to ceiling glass and refinished hardwoods extend down the bedroom hallway.
Opposite view, this is unlike the more mundane mid-century houses where maybe the living room has some architectural interest, but the rest is plain. This house pops with wow factor across every inch!
Primary bedroom with walls of floor to ceiling glass on one side, and the original built ins on the opposite wall. A panel above the bed controls all the lights in the house and is original. This house was very advanced and upscale when it was built. Vaulted ceiling and hardwood floors.
Another view showing all the fabulous glass. Imagine waking up in this incredible room!
Panning around the room, there is plenty of space.
The sleek contemporary bathroom was refreshed in keeping with the modernist style of the house.
Secondary bedroom with wall of built ins and hardwood floors.
Guest bath redone in neutral contemporary finishes.
The original flagstone patio wraps around the entire back of the house. The interplay between indoor and outdoor spaces is incredible in this unique home.
If you have your heart set on a true mid-century modern, you could double the price and still not find anything to compare to the architectural WOW factor of this one.
The large lot cascades down into a dry swale. Topography? In Houston? YES! One more unique feature about this special home!
The picture tells the story!
The split-level design is not something you are likely to find anywhere else in Houston. An infinity pool would look incredible in that space!
If someone wanted to add a pool, there would be plenty of room, with lots of grass left over for pets or gardening.
I specialize in mid-century moderns and I can tell you with confidence, you will absolutely NOT find anything else like this, even for a lot more money. This is 110% pure MCM magnificence!
There's a lot to love here, don't let this one get away!
The home was published in Atomic Ranch and graced the cover of Houston House and Home.
The world class Houston Botanical Garden is located in the immediate area.
