The home at 205 E. 5th St. in the Houston Heights is sponsoring this site today. Swamplot appreciates the support!

The main living spaces in this home in the Houston Heights South Historic District are on the second floor. The ground-floor entry leads to a gated yard. Up the front stairs from that yard is the second-floor front door, which opens to a screened porch. From there follow the formal living room and dining room (seen in the photo at top); a bookshelf-lined library or study connected by a pair of French doors to the dining room has a gas-burning fireplace and a window seat tucked between shelving units. A breakfast room with custom china cabinets (pictured above) sits between the kitchen and a den.

The master suite, on the first floor, has private access to the side porch and yard and includes a flex room suitable for an office or workout space. A walk-in closet includes built-in cabinets and shelving; the master bath has sinks incorporated into 2 separate antique vanities, along with a claw-foot tub and separate shower. The 2 secondary bedrooms on the third floor each have vaulted ceilings.

The entire 3-bedroom, 2-1/2-bath, 3,888-sq.-ft. home was transformed from an original bungalow by Heights renovation specialists Bungalow Revival. It’s sited just less than 2 blocks away from local dining favorites Coltivare, Revival Market, and Lee’s Fried Chicken and Donuts. If you’d like to see more photos of the home’s unique spaces, do check out the property website, where you can also find additional information.

Today’s Sponsor of the Day post comes to us from Crescere Capital Management, with an announcement about the Gospel Truth Pentecostal Church in Oak Forest. Thanks for supporting Swamplot!

The Gospel Truth Pentecostal Church sits on a 2-acre site at 1624 W. 34th St., just east of Ella Blvd. The congregation has outgrown this facility and is moving to a much larger building now under construction at 809 West Rd. (and changing its name, to Victory Worship Center), which it hopes to occupy in time for Easter 2017. So . . . now there’s more news about changes in store for this part of Oak Forest. The Gospel Truth congregation has sold its 34th St. property to Crescere, the same company that owns the Shops at Oak Forest at the corner of 43rd St. and Ella Blvd. and is developing the new 33 1/3 @ Thirtyfourth retail center at the corner of 34th and Ella — a half-block away from the church on the other side of the street.

The church, which was built in 1970, is a 7,000-sq.-ft. structure that could be repurposed for any number of uses — especially any requiring plenty of parking. The building fronts 34th St, with parking lots in back, fronting both 34th 1/2 St. in back and Couch St. on the west side.

If you’re interested in leasing this space or getting more information about it, talk to the leasing agent, Tony Armstrong. He can be reached at (713) 222-2737.
