A 40 ft. glass wall and several skylights open up what otherwise appears to be a buttoned up 1950s home in Southampton Extension. It’s right up the street from the Hanover Rice Village apartments and upcoming retail mix.

Its photos feature a brief ride on a modern-mood magic carpet:

It first lands in the double-height vaulted living room added at some point at the back of the home:

It also bursts on the scene in one of the 2 secondary bedroom upstairs. The home has 2 full bathrooms and a half-bath.

HCAD indicates a 2005 remodeling of the home, now weighing in at 3,229 sq. ft. on its 6,600-sq.-ft. lot.

Recent changes mentioned in the listing include foam insulation and new windows upstairs. Here’s the other (currently carpet-free) secondary bedroom:

The outdoor spaces are as tidy, tended, and varied as the interior ones:
