Idyllic and cozy, there's something endlessly charming about West University. An enclave unto itself in the middle of Houston’s hum and bustle, it’s known for shady streets, lovely parks, and cozy community.
Aside from being home to CultureMap columnist Ken Hoffman, West U has been crowned the best city to live in Texas.
For home shoppers looking to enjoy West U's cozy confines, a newly built home at 3203 Georgetown St. represents a choice option. The contemporary, four-bedroom home is on the market for $2.85 million, represented by Patricia Reed of Sotheby’s International Realty.
Across more than 4,800 square feet on a lot that’s just under two-tenths of an acre, this is a home that is perfect for family living, with plenty of space to entertain.
The two-story home offers four bedroom and four and a half bathrooms. Details have been thoughtfully selected throughout, including hardwood floors, beautiful built-in shelves, massive windows to allow in plenty of light, and an overall contemporary feel.
Designed by Jennifer Hemelet for Mirador Builders, 3203 Georgetown is a lovely haven. The kitchen is a casual gathering space, with a giant island, breakfast nook, wood-plank ceiling, and high-end appliances. Loads of cabinets arranged around the room keep everything organized and offer an open feel to the room.
A must for families and kids, a mudroom provides cubbies and hooks for school backpacks, sports equipment, even a leash or two. A vintage chandelier provides a midcentury showpiece to the dining room.
The primary bedroom boasts a spa-like bathroom with double vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. A second-level game room offers a wall of windows and A/V closet, and is the perfect place for teens and tweens to take over with their friends.
Outdoor living is centered around a rear porch with a pine ceiling with ceiling fan that overlooks a tranquil backyard — with more than enough space to add a pool.
This home is move-in ready, and waiting for its new owners to create memories and build their lives here. It’s a space that can easily grow with a growing family, or be a spot where a couple can entertain visitors for an evening or a longer stay. Its location is in the heart of West U, and therefore in the heart of Houston, convenient to the Medical Center, Rice University, Greenway Plaza, downtown, and more.
