Enjoy the Best of Houston While Getting the Small Town Feels with Southside Place Home
Share News:
The best part of visiting or living in Houston is the multitude of family activities that are available. The Houston Children’s Museum is one of the best I’ve seen as well as the Natural Science Museum. Both are phenomenal.
Then, located 40 minutes from the city center, is Space Center Houston and historical sites such as the San Jacinto Museum and Battlefield. We can’t forget about the lovely City of Galveston. Fresh seafood for dinner, anyone?
In short, there is so much to do in Houston that you could not see and do everything in one long weekend. I know this for a fact because while my husband and I lived there when we were first married, my sister and young nephews would come to visit every MLK Jr. holiday weekend.
That is why when I was looking for a cool Texas home to write about, I thought it would be absolutely crazy to not have a second home in Houston. With all the things to see and do, along with world-class restaurants, the only thing missing is a cozy place to rest your head at night. I have found just such a home.
This sweet home is located on one of the most coveted streets in Southside Place. Southside Place is a small city located inside the City of Houston much the same way University Park and Highland Park are located in Dallas. Who would have thought you could have small-town charm in Houston?
This meticulously maintained home features both classic architecture and brilliant curb appeal.
Throughout the home, natural light gives the home a positive energy that you can feel the minute you walk through the door.
The formal living room is a comfortable space to have more initimate conversations with guests.
The fun, family memories, however, will be made in the family living room that flows to a screened outdoor porch or into the kitchen.
Designed by acclaimed architect Charles E. Geyer, the use of custom woodworking adds a sense of warmth to a spacious kitchen and living room where you feel as though you can truly relax and just enjoy your family.
When it comes to actually sitting down to enjoy a meal, well, you have options.
You have a large formal dining area that easily fits any size table. Then there is a breakfast nook that has a peaceful view of your yard.
The abundance of windows and natural light is simply a wonderful.
This home has two screened-in porch areas where you can enjoy the outdoors without worrying about the pesky mosquitoes that love to call Houston home. At the end of the day, however, you want to be able to enjoy a hot bath and a good night’s sleep.
You do not have to worry about bumping into your better half as the primary bath is wonderfully spacious.
If you still have some pent-up energy, then you will love the second screened-in porch, which is attached to the primary suite. What a great idea for an exercise room. You have everything you need for a good night’s rest.
While Houston has everything and then some to offer, Southside Place offers its own conveniences and sense of community. If you decide to stay close to home, then you can take the family to Firetruck Park or enjoy all the community center has to offer. This Houston home has everything you need for a fun getaway.
