    On the market

    A spectacularly remodeled mid-century modern for under $500,000 produces houseenvy

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

    UPDATE: The contract on this house fell through and it's back on the market. Check it out at the open house this Sunday, Sept. 9.

    1136 Shelterwood

    Robert Searcy of Texas Real Estate & Co. has a thing for mid-century modern houses so as soon as the gem at 1136 Shelterwood in Timbergrove Manor went on the market, he emailed me.

    "I specialize in mid-century moderns, of course, and this one is truly exceptional. It was designed by Hamilton Brown, former council member Peter Brown’s father, and Peter was hired to help with the restoration. This is no flipper type house. (Remodeling expert Will Martin) spared no expense. "

    The house was taken back to its studs and refurbished with all new wiring, new plumbing, insulated commercial windows and frames . . .

    The house was so spectacular in a retro-Palm Springs sort of way and so well-priced (under $500,000), that Searcy received a contract (sale pending) on it the morning that I arrived to take a look-see. Ordinarily, that would have nixed the property from my consideration.

    But the house was just too well done not to share with readers. So consider this a remodeling masterpiece rather than an On the Market.

    The original house was comprised of three bedrooms and two baths, squeezed into 1,843 square feet. Martin and Brown reduced the count to two bedrooms, incorporating the middle bedroom into the master bath and closet thereby making the house pleasantly livable.

    Throughout the extensive make-over Martin recorded the effort on his blog. As he noted when the house was completed, "This has been one of my very favorite projects in a long time and it's finished!"

    The main living quarters are open plan with living room, dining area and kitchen all flowing into one delightful space defined on one end by the electric fire place with glass rock bed (see the intriguing faux flames and details here) and on the other by the kitchen bar. Love the new kitchen that has been completely redone and is outfitted with custom European cabinetry, quartz countertops and the latest in range, fridge and washer/dryer.

    God bless Martin for installing solid wood doors. No plastic or hollow veneers, thank you.

    For this project, Martin took the house back to its studs and refurbished with all new wiring, new plumbing, Icyne spray foam insulation and LowE insulated commercial windows and frames. The latter two are important as the house sides up to T.C. Jester where on occasion traffic can be an issue. However, on my visit, even though cars whizzed by, I didn't hear them.

    New wood floors throughout much of the house, herringbone brick floor in the living area and recessed lighting are additional fine touches. Exposed brick walls, tongue and groove ceiling, walls of glass and the patio with fireplace are all magical touches that give this house such appeal. And God bless Martin for installing solid wood doors. No plastic or hollow veneers, thank you.

    The spanking new 7-foot-high cedar privacy fence guarantees a secure feel when relaxing in the living area that features a vast expanse of glass wall opening to the backyard.

    Another bonus to this home is the location — very nice neighborhood with lots of mature trees, large lawns and only minutes from the urban action.

    NBA champion Jordan Clarkson lists San Antonio mansion for $7.5M

    The spacious open area is roomy enough for an oversized sectional.

    Another NBA player has listed his San Antonio home, but this one never housed a Spur. New York Knicks guard Jordan Clarkson is selling his Dominion estate for $7.5 million.

    After the still-stinging finals, maybe it’s for the best.

    Having a Knick embedded in Silver and Black country might seem as unlikely as finding a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s court. But the shooting guard has a long history in the Alamo City. His parents, both in the Air Force, moved there when he was six. Later, he was named San Antonio High School Player of the Year while attending Karen Wagner High School.

    His sprawling five-bedroom, seven-bath mansion, listed by Janay Bankston of Barlowe Daly Realty, naturally contains touches tailored to a pro baller. Photos show customized closets with shelving for caps and a huge collection of kicks. And the property makes space for a private gym and a half basketball court.

    During downtime, Clarkson could relax in a jacuzzi, sip Champagne in a wine lounge, or watch Space Jam from the comfort of a theater room outfitted with stadium seating. Other luxe features include a four-car garage and elevator for those days when he did too many line sprints.

    The spacious open area is roomy enough for an oversized sectional.

    Outside, resort-style landscaping surrounds an infinity pool deck outfitted with an Italian pizza oven. A detached casita — built with its own bar — gives guests privacy but easy access to a quick dip.

    Although the home is mostly in neutral grays and whites, the listing does give a peek of some of Clarkson’s personality. A zippy blue stove is installed in the marble island, an oversized Swatch hangs near the living room, and one room features a funky purple shag rug. A mischievous Pokémon is pictured on another rug.

    Interested parties must book a showing 24 hours in advance. Inquiries may be made through Realtor.com. There’s no word on whether the many lanterns scattered across the living areas are included in the sale.
