The update on this 1970 home in Lakeside Estates wasn’t too radical; the main living spaces kept their room-to-room flow. But the finishes have been tweaked. The home is back on the market after a 3-month break, still asking $323,827. Its earlier run straddled summer 2012 before ending in October. A bit technicolor in some of its glowing listing photos, the freshened-up home features a bunch of built-ins and beams.

Remodeled in 1997, the home appears to have been further updated and embellished since. Iron balustrades, for example, now accent the wood-trimmed entryway:

The living and dining rooms look northward through different types of front-facing windows:

Now finished with granite counters and stainless steel appliances, the kitchen kept some of the storage-studded room’s original curls in the wooden trim and matching furls in the vent hood:

Upper cabinets frame the view into the adjacent family room:

Under the cooktop, there’s access to lower-level storage from both sides:

Out back and off the family room, there’s a covered brick patio poolside:

A covered walkway leads to the 2-car garage, which forms one side of the back lot:

At 2,794 sq. ft., the home is almost the largest on the block, according to HCAD records. The 8,880-sq.-ft. property is one lot off the neighborhood’s access road: Lakeside Country Club Blvd., east of Wilcrest and north of Westheimer. Both ends of streets crossing the boulevard end in cul-de-sacs. The subdivision carries a $725 annual maintenance fee.
