    Bungalow With A History

    Updated bungalow in trendy neighborhood maintains a sense of history

     Editor's Note: Houston, the surrounding areas and beyond are loaded with must-have houses for sale in all shapes, sizes and price ranges. In this continuing series, CultureMap snoops through some of the best and gives you the lowdown on what's hot on the market.

     

    Owning a classic Craftsman-style home dovetailed with the owner's insight as principal at a local award-winning architectural firm to maintain and update the structure being mindful of its historic fabric, as well as add a complementary freestanding structure in back.

     

    The house, located at 1507 Hawthorn St. in Montrose's Mandell Place, is now for sale at $592,000.

     

     Walk through
    A deep front porch with ceiling fan welcomes owners to the property. Inside, the living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace flanked by windows and glass-front cabinets. Hardwood floors continue into the spacious dining room with large windows and high ceilings.

     

    Just off the dining room is the kitchen with rustic-contemporary features such as a farmhouse sink and cabinets of reclaimed wood. Modern appliances, including a Frigidaire Gallery series stainless stove and microwave, ultra-quiet Bosch dishwasher, granite counters and a built-in wine cooler, are on hand for the chef of the house. The breakfast nook at one end of the kitchen showcases some of the interesting mill work found throughout the house.

     

    A hallway leads to the master suite, which overlooks the back yard and pool area. A former sun room was reconfigured in 2001 to become the light-filled master bath, complete with double sinks, custom vanity with storage and steam shower.

     

    Walls of windows highlight the second bedroom, accessible from the hall and living room. The hall bath is remodeled in white tile with blue glass accents that complement the original penny tile floor. The period sink is a re-conditioned antique fitted with a side-mounted Belle Foret faucet.

     

     Step outside
    Here, outdoor living is easy with a swimming pool fringed with bamboo and windmill palms. A wooden deck provides more seating for al fresco affairs and is part of the 2012 addition of a 325-square-foot structure designed by the Logan and Johnson Architecture (LOJO) principal/owner to complement the main house with its own style. The space is now used as an office and guest quarters with full bath, and plumbing is stubbed for a sink if a kitchen is desired.

     

    Mandall Place is a deed-restricted neighborhood in an area near Cafe Brasil, Hugo's, The Menil Collection and H-E-B. The house is just four streets north of The Menil and two blocks from the popular new bakery, Common Bond.

     

     Square footage: 1,386, plus the addition with 325

     

     Asking price: $592,000

    millennial movers

    More millennials bought homes in Houston than any other city in 2024

    Houston is turning into a haven for millennial homebuyers, a new SmartAsset housing study has found. Nearly 62,000 millennials purchased homes in the Bayou City in 2024.

    The report, "Where Millennials Are Buying Homes – 2025 Study," analyzed mortgage origination data across 41 of the largest U.S. metros, ranking them based on the percentage of local people aged 25-44 who purchased a home in 2024. As a note, the study only observed conventional mortgages and not FHA, USDA, or VA loans.

    The findings show more millennials bought homes in Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands than in any other U.S. metro last year, totaling 61,826 originated mortgages.

    "This was the highest raw number of new Millennial homeowners nationwide, outranking metros like New York City and Los Angeles, which have much larger total populations," the report's author wrote.

    For additional context, that's nearly 6,100 more mortgages than Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, which had the second-highest number of millennial home purchases nationwide in 2024.

    The median property value of a Houston-area home purchased by a millennial in 2024 came out to $345,000, and the median income of a millennial homeowner was $124,000, according to the report.

    Despite the vast number of millennials that bought homes in Houston last year, it only accounted for 2.85 percent of all local residents within the 25-44 age bracket. Furthermore, Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands placed 27th in the report's ranking of U.S. metro areas with the highest percentage of millennials who purchased homes in 2024.

    The No. 1-ranking metro was Raleigh-Cary, North Carolina with 4.5 percent of local millennials securing a mortgage last year. However, that percentage only represented 19,735 mortgages originated in 2024.

    SmartAsset said U.S. metros with a high rate of millennial homebuyers may show desirability within the area's job market, housing market, and its local economy.

    "In some places, 1 in every 25 residents between the ages of 25 and 44 purchased a home with a conventional mortgage just in 2024 alone," the study said. "In other major metros, less than 1 in 100 Millennial-aged residents last year. This disparity can cause divergent implications for local infrastructure, politics, and business demand among different metros."

    Here's how many mortgages that were secured by millennials in Texas' other major metros in 2024:

    • Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington – 55,732 mortgages
    • Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos – 27,196 mortgages
    • San Antonio-New Braunfels – 26,337 mortgages
