Set just off Mid Lane is a beautiful, custom-built home. Located at 38 Hackberry Lane, the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath home with great details is now on the market for $1.525 million, represented by Corey Lipscomb of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty.
With 3,356 square feet of living space and sitting on a lot that’s more than 8,300 square feet, the home is currently owned by Frank Billingsley, current executive producer and co-host of Houston Public Media’s Hello Houston. Audiences will also recall him as the longtime meteorologist for KPRC-TV in Houston.
Upon entering the home’s double doors, potential buyers will be captivated by the home's dark, hardwood floors, and a dramatic, custom, wrought-iron staircase. The entryway also offers views of the living room, which features a fireplace, recessed lighting, and French doors that lead to a covered patio and the pool. A wet bar with porcelain counters and an ice maker are right off the living room, handy access for sharing cocktails with guests.
The formal dining room has custom millwork, inlaid hardwood floors, and French doors leading directly to the pool deck. Large windows offer abundant natural light and sweeping views of the backyard.
The kitchen offers porcelain countertops, a gas range, stainless appliances, and plenty of storage. It’s anchored by an island that has bar seating. A breakfast room is an ideal spot to begin the day with a cup of coffee.
Upstairs, the primary suite has its own fireplace and sitting room, making it a true owner’s retreat. The primary suite bath has a double sink vanity, seamless glass shower and separate soaking tub, as well as a walk-in closet. The additional bedrooms on the second floor each have a Hollywood bath. The fourth bedroom is on the third floor, with a full bath and walk-in closet.
The beautifully landscaped yard is perfect for entertaining, with a covered loggia with fireplace, hot tub, pool, and a covered patio.
With its location not far from Highland Village, Central Market, and the Galleria, this is a home that those who want to be in the heart of it all, while still feeling like they have an oasis in the city.
