A tile-and-paver prone property in Briargrove Park deploys its preferred flooring on pathways, courtyards, patios — and interior rooms. Located on a quarter-acre corner lot in the middle of the neighborhood (north of Briar Forest Dr. near the West Belt), the home hit the market this week with an initial asking price of $719,900.

In the family room, the wall paneling and the scored joints in the concrete flooring both lie on the diagonal. A half-dozen windows in the back wall overlook the patio and enclosed yard:
Along with the 4 full and 2 half-baths, the kitchen got an overhaul, gaining granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, and subway tile. HCAD reports a remodel in 2007, when the property last changed hands.

Love the Reddish Egret painting above the hot tub. People should use Gulf Coast birds in decorating more often.
One block from the Beltway? Not exactly a nice place to breathe for that much cash.
Garage: 0 Car
