Today’s sponsor is the 4-5-bedroom, 4-bath single-family home at 1704 Kipling St. in Winlow Place. Thank you for supporting this site!

The duplex that originally stood on the northwest corner of Kipling and Dunlavy was built in 1930, but it had been vacant for 20 years before Houston architect Donna Kacmar renovated and converted it, in 2007, to this single residence. Kacmar recycled some of the materials from the house for its own rejuvenation: Termite-ridden oak planks on the first floor were replaced by shiplap — removed from the interior walls, milled, and turned into wide-plank flooring. New cabinet pieces were fabricated from the home’s longleaf pine door jambs. Interior doors are refinished originals, but all windows and exterior doors were replaced, soapstone countertops inserted, and a new garage constructed.

The renovation efforts resulted in a Good Brick Award from the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance (now known as Preservation Houston) in 2008. But the home has more to offer than its rehab pedigree: There’s also the central Montrose location. Coffee, croissants, and company are just a short walk away. The 3,552-sq.-ft. home is just a couple blocks south of the storied corner of Westheimer and Dunlavy.

1704 Kipling St. is listed for sale by New Leaf Real Estate, which offers unique savings programs for both sellers and buyers. You can see more photos of the renovated home — including the back porch and brick exterior — and get more info about it on the property website.

Isn’t it time people focused on the cool stuff you’re offering? That’s what Swamplot’s Sponsor of the Day program is for.

Today’s sponsor is the 1962 colonial-style Ranch home at 7634 Glen Prairie St. in Glenbrook Valley. Thank you for supporting Swamplot!

Straight back from the foyer, past the main living and dining areas, you’ll find the den of this home, (above) with original terrazzo flooring and easy connections to the kitchen and breakfast areas — as well as the back patio and yard. Behind the camera in the above view is a wall of built-in cabinets, including a desk. (You can find a photo of it in the listing.) The kitchen has Corian countertops and stainless-steel appliances, and the 2 full baths and the 1 powder room have been updated as well. The home has 4 bedrooms.

Glenbrook Valley — in case you hadn’t heard — is Houston’s largest historic district, perched just 1 exit outside the 610 Loop. Its collection of midcentury Ranch, Colonial, and Modern homes earned it a place in a This Old House list of the best old-house neighborhoods in the South. And Scenic Houston has secured funding to turn neighborhood thoroughfare Broadway St. into what it calls a “classic Houston boulevard” (with overarching live oaks, red-brick crosswalks, modern streetlights, and extensive median landscaping) in time for next year’s Super Bowl. If you’re interested in Glenbrook Valley, look for the neighborhood home tour now being planned for the first weekend in October.
