    On the Market

    This refurbished, expanded Woodland Heights bungalow offers loads of potentialcharm

    Shelby Hodge
    Jun 11, 2011 | 2:01 pm
    • The curb appeal for 426 Euclid lies in the cheerful yellow paint and the tracerwindows original to the house built almost 100 years ago.
    • The living room opens to the dining room that leads to the kitchen.
    • The expanded and modernized kitchen retains the spirit of the Woodland Heightsbungalow.
    • The family room at the back of the house opens genially to the nice-sizedkitchen.
    • Carved from the large attic, the master bedroom features a high ceiling thatfollows the roof line.
    • The second upstairs bedroom has a private bath.
    • The backyard deck enjoys the shade of neighboring trees.

    Editor's Note: Houston is loaded with must-have houses for sale in all shapes, sizes and price ranges. Throughout the month of June, CultureMap Editor-at-Large Shelby Hodge snoops through some of our faves and gives you the lowdown on what's hot on the market.

    426 Euclid

    It's an appealing bungalow that has much potential particularly for buyers with the ability to see beyond the current owners' furnishings, which don't necessarily speak to the charming esthetics of the house.

    Walk through: Up the sidewalk we go past the towering holly trees to the little wrap-around porch where a rocking chair and suspended swing beckon. On entering, as was tradition around 1915 or so when the house was built, we are standing in the living room where tracer windows with original glass (love the character of the wavy glass), a wood-burning fireplace and adjacent built-in bookcases set the stage for this warm and inviting dwelling.

    The living room opens to the dining room which leads to the enlarged and completely renovated kitchen, part of a major redo completed seven years ago.

    With that expansion, the owner transformed the two ground level bedrooms into one guest bedroom, a full bath and family room at the rear of the house. The attic was opened to allow for the master, a second bedroom, two full baths and laundry closet.

    The back porch off of the kitchen and family room leads to a small yard and the free-standing, single-car garage. The typical 5,000-square-foot lots in this tree-shrouded neighborhood don't have alley access making the single-car garage something of a necessity.

    Bonus: For families with young children, this house is within walking distance, just a few blocks, from Travis Elementary, the public school of choice for discerning parents living in the Woodland Heights.

    Streetscape: It's a great looking block of Euclid with nicely refurbished houses, rich gardens and bountiful oak trees. In fact, the entire neighborhood is quite charming with the abundance of trees and carefully-maintained older homes. The only problem house in this particular block appears to be the one next door to our little bungalow. However, as this is a neighborhood in transition, one could expect that the offending property will not be there for long.

    Square footage: 2,500

    Asking price: $640,000

    The dead pool: Funeral bars shoot for a swimming time

    • Will the funeral bars really be ready to open by Wednesday as advertised?

    We got a tip over the weekend that those bars being constructed on Upper Kirby out of the old Settegast Kopf funeral home had opened.

    Given the mess of the construction site, we had our doubts, but we went by Tuesday afternoon to check things out. What we can tell you is the following: The bars do not appear to be open, but that rumor about the pool in the funeral bar is definitely true.

    As we reported earlier, despite the lawsuit and some serious parking issues, Roak, Twist and Hendrick's Pub have, as a collective, obtained a liquor license from the TABC and all the necessary permits for construction.

    On Friday we noticed that an event on our calendar that's scheduled for Wednesday, July 13 is to be hosted at Roak (and it boasts "sipping specialty cocktails" by that pool we mentioned.)

    By the looks of these pictures we took Tuesday evening, we're not sure what shape it will be in by then — but we've seen crazier stuff happen. What do you think?
