2716 Essex Terrace! First floor living in the most desirable part of Houston!! In the middle of all the action of the River Oaks area, but tucked away from everything on a tranquil street across from Central Market!!!
Walk through this stunning patio to the front door of 2716 Essex Terrace. It runs the length of the house from the security gate in front to the lush green area in back and sets the tone for the delightful home within!
The lush gardens contain a multitude of easy care plants! The house is totally gated and secure. Pavers take you to the back of the patio, where there is space for sitting or dining.
View of the recessed entrance shows the wood floors used throughout much of the house. Wide openings on either side of the wall (dry bar on the other side) lead to the living room. Great circulation for large or small gatherings.
The living room has a peaked ceiling, which makes the already expansive room look even larger, and windows looking out to the vine-covered wall of the patio. Plenty of room for a grand piano AND two seating areas here!
This view just shows the high windows on the right, and French doors to the front patio. TV fits nicely above the gas-log fireplace.
Another view of the living room shows the dry bar, with great storage. Recessed lights keep the space bright both day and night. Lighted recessed display area above the dry bar.
The dining room will seat twelve with room to spare. Attractive crystal chandelier. Place for a sideboard or china cabinet. Wall of windows looking out to the side and interior patios.
This dining room has a history full of marvelous dinner parties, large and small, formal and casual, and you can continue the tradition with ease and pleasure! Great flow back to the living room.
The breakfast area is large enough for a table or a desk, if one wishes, and it's entirely open to the kitchen. It has doubled as a sunny sitting room. Sliding door to the interior patio.
Breakfast area is separated from the kitchen by a peninsula. Utility area through the open doorway. Bosch stackable washer and dryer remain. Door to two-car garage with lots and lots of extra storage. Additional storage in the pull-down attic area.
