Swamplot’s sponsor today is the 4-story home at 2242 Lakeshore Edge Dr. in Hilshire Lakes. Thank you for the support!

Where can you find waterfront living this close-in? In the gated community that flanks the 10-acre lake near Hollister Rd. and Hammerly Blvd. in Spring Branch. This 3,086-sq.-ft. residence originally served as the neighborhood’s model home. The gated garden terrace that sits just outside the guest bedroom suite on the first floor includes a small vegetable garden and fruit trees planted by Edible Earth Resources (a previous Swamplot Sponsor of the Day). It faces onto one of 2 community green spaces in the complex. A second-story balcony is linked by French doors to the home’s main living space; a roof deck with a gas grill hookup on the fourth floor has clear views of the water.

The 3-bedroom, 4-and-a-half-bath home was built with energy-minded features, including a tankless water heater, 2×6 exterior walls, and a metal roof. The second-floor living space has windows on 3 sides. On the top floor a game room or den (or possible fourth bedroom) connects to the roof deck; it has its own separate wet bar and wine fridge.

If you’d like to find out more details about this unique home, or see more photos of it — including more views of the adjacent lake — please take a look at the property website.
