![The elegant and gracious two-story entry hall, like the rest of this lovely home, is filled with natural light emanating from an abundance of windows. Every window has been replaced with double-pane glass [except for one]. Hardwood floors downstairs refinished in 2018*. This traditional residence has been redesigned for comfy living and the joy of entertaining friends, family and guests. *Per Seller](https://dvvjkgh94f2v6.cloudfront.net/7b68097c/742739240/1ad5be0d.jpeg)
![This room is on every Buyer's wish list! The study is private and apart from the main living and dining areas. This fully enclosed space is enhanced by southern exposure and the lush, treed [6,000 SF lot per HCAD]. The cased opening and thoughtful pocket door were added during a masterful renovation 2017-18*. This work-from-home space could be used as a lounge or playroom. The pair of French doors to entry hall are not visible in this photo.](https://dvvjkgh94f2v6.cloudfront.net/7b68097c/742739240/6dd28e9b.jpeg)
![The southwest perspective of pretty living room reveals how open, bright and functional this floor plan is. The red oak hardwood floors [refinished in 2018 per Seller] run contiguoulsy into the kitchen and dining area.](https://dvvjkgh94f2v6.cloudfront.net/7b68097c/742739240/84b12bae.jpeg)
![This fantastic photo highlights the architecturally-appealing staircase ascending to the second level. The banister, balustrades, and stair treads were just painted [Dec. 2025*] to blend copesthetically with the freshly painted walls in Alabaster, a serene Sherwin-Williams color [also Dec. 2025-*]. The neutral lacework-patterned stair carpeting is also a recent addition. *Per Seller.](https://dvvjkgh94f2v6.cloudfront.net/7b68097c/742739240/1db87a14.jpeg)
![Another fantastic vista in the Living Room, flanked by a pair of grand floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the big turfed backyard and newly installed deck [2024]. Don't miss the precious dog room under the staircase. This niche was designed for sweet 'Laila' - a four-legged furry friend. This pet niche is illuminated with a disc light and offers porcelain tile floors.](https://dvvjkgh94f2v6.cloudfront.net/7b68097c/742739240/fa005713.jpeg)

School information is generated by the most current available data we have. However, as school boundary maps can change, and schools can get too crowded (whereby students zoned to a school may not be able to attend in a given year if they are not registered in time), you need to independently verify and confirm enrollment and all related information directly with the school.
