Today on Swamplot our sponsor is the 4-bedroom home at 2014 W. 14th 1/2 St. in Clark Pines, in the Greater Heights area.

Porches front the first and second story of this custom home, which was built in 2008; a more private porch in back has access from the living room. A built-in wine bar with a brick backsplash is tucked next to the central stair landing. At the front of the home, a pair of French doors opens to a study with a wall of built-ins that allows access to a secret room. There’s a formal dining room as well as a slightly more casual eating alcove off the living room and closer to the kitchen at the back of the home. The first-floor master suite features a coffee bar and a master bath with standalone shower and claw-foot tub.

Upstairs, a flex room (could be a second living room, media room, or game room) off the landing connects to the second-story porch. One of the 3 bedrooms on this floor, which has its own bathroom (also accessible from the flex room), also fronts the porch. The other 2 second-story bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath with 2 sinks and a separate bath-and-toilet compartment. All bedrooms have separately zoned thermostats; all the upstairs windows (and most of the downstairs ones) feature plantation shutters. In all, the home measures 3,788 sq. ft.

Clark Pines is a small neighborhood in the Greater Heights area west of the Houston Heights proper and south of Shady Acres. This home sits on a 7,700-sq.-ft. lot on the south side of 14th 1/2 St., which ends in a cul-de-sac a few doors down. The wide street frontage allows the home and its attached 2-car garage to face 14th 1/2. (Further subdivision of the lots in the neighborhood is restricted, according to the listing agent, by a minimum lot-size requirement.)

If you’d like to learn more details about the home at 2014 W. 14th 1/2 St., or see more photos of the interior (some with digital staging!), check out the property website.

A home means many things to each of us. It’s a significant financial investment; an irreplaceable setting for memories of growing up; a place of retreat after a hard day’s work; and it provides us with a sense of identity that’s intrinsically tied to the community. But just as important — a home is also: color, texture, space, function, style, mood, inspiration, and structure. Design sets the backdrop for our lives, while defining the aesthetic through which we view the world around us.

With ReDesign, Boulevard Realty aims to provide its clients, prospective clients, and colleagues with access to the latest design trends and inspiration — all delivered from the perspective of a realtor, resource, and friend. “We are in the business of selling homes not for of our love of selling but for our love of homes,” the design team declares on the website’s About page.

ReDesign provides regular coverage of popular home features, as well as more specific looks at how some of these rooms, trends and approaches show up in a number of the properties Boulevard Realty has available for sale.
