Look familiar? Two weeks after its smaller look-alike housing unit appeared on the market, this bigger-by-a-bedroom version finishing up right next door listed for a bit more. And speaking of doors, this mini-mod’s entry is cool blue instead of the cheery yellow one marking its neighbor. Other differences include the roofline’s wider wingspan — to accommodate a broader, shorter driveway that bumps against that extra room downstairs.

Otherwise, the $210,000 home by Lucy Modern Dwelling and Studio 8M Architecture presents with the same rain-screen siding, eco-conscious fittings, modern design elements, and locale — on a 2,200-sq.-ft. lot a block from the new Southeast rail line — as its scooped-up (the status of the other listing is now marked “pending”) doppelganger next door.
The larger 1,161-sq.-ft. home is unfinished, according to its listing. Its entryway (above) appears to be only as deep as the front door when opened, and it lands at the foot of the staircase (at right), which has oak treads. Downstairs, the all-in-one living space is open to the kitchen; the image below, though, may have been cribbed from the listing for the house next door — it shows a yellow front door:
The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms:
The master bedroom and its double-vanity bathroom are upstairs:
Also on the second floor is this slant-ceiling top-of-the-staircase space, described as a storage room:

I like the carport solution. If I owned this I would definitely put a gate around it though.
I wanted to buy this one but its already sold :-(
WHETHER ITS PEA GRAVEL OR SMALL ROCKS, EACH BECOMES AN EYE AND WINDOW SHATTERING MISSILE DURING WEEKLY MOWING AND EDGING. THIS IS THE REASON WE DON’T HAVE NICE THINGS. LOL
IKEA-tastic!
Wow, they’re both pending. If this was a test the waters kind of thing for developers to continue the march east from downtown, expect more new construction between Scott and Cullen.
@SNAZZY STUFF!
It’s hard to realize how much gravel and debris there is on the roads in Houston until you walk around just a few blocks in dress shoes with leather soles. It’s like these streets haven’t been swept by a streetsweeper since they were built 100+ years ago.
And glass, I sometimes ride my bike on weekends, the city streets are covered in glass. City of Houston would rather blow money on a campaign to coax people to shop downtown rather than maintain the streets or fix water leaks, etc.
I don’t care for the “rain screen” siding. I’m no expert, but wouldn’t standard lap siding make more sense in a rainy environment?
Original comment referred to the ton of gravel comprising the driveways of the two homes. Something you don’t see in Houston, grass bordering yards and yards of gravel. That is all. Anyone who has spent time mowing grass near that many rocks knows that it is scary as fuck.
bring it bring it. Keep coming east. If you’re looking to invest, it seems to be a safe bet. This is where we’re buying now.
