Some people would say "they don't make 'em like this, anymore" and they'd be right. A lovingly maintained property, with lasting structural integriy, can sometimes be far better than new! This huge, (1) story, single family, brick/wood home is located at 1034 W. Donovan Street, W. Houston, TX, in the quiet Shepherd Park community.
This meticulously maintained residence, inside and out, shows proud ownership and striking curb appeal. Inside are 3/4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, all sitting on an 8,400 square-foot-lot with 2, 126 square-feet of interior living space.
This divine wood/glass front entrance affords privacy, shelter from sudden summer downpours and lots of warm welcoming!
Who would ever imagine this easy living, contemporary vibe here, in the brightly lit blended living/family space and chef's kitchen; sharing lush, modern Italian tile with hardwood floors, in other areas.
Pristine alabaster toned walls and huge floor tiles provide a relaxed canvas for any and all sized furnishings and accents. Look for the built-in fireplace, shielded by the white chair, up center. Can you imagine this room at holiday time?
The beauty and versatility of the open floor plan design concept is in its glory here; demonstrating the huge amount of free, unobsturucted floor and wall space you have in this unequalled area. From this vantage point, in one glance you can take in the front entrance and foyer; living and dining spaces and adjoining common areas for all!
A gorgeous adaptation on what appears as an oriental themed sliding 'barn' door, creates privacy in and out of the formal dining space to the connecting chef's kitchen.

Just walking into this peaceful formal dining area brings a feeling of lightness and comfort! The arched window, with gorgeous grill, looks out to the front of the home and its green carpet.
Simplicity is key to easy, everyday elegance, as seen in light earth tones on walls and tile floors, luscious quartz counters and the added glow of stainless steel appliances. This kitchen island is so much more than a separate work space; its extended counter allows for some sizeable stools, too. This supplies extra seating, if needed, when entertaining and /or handy counter space for serving.
Sleek paths and counter space, galore, allow cooks and helpers to happily coexist!
This kind of incredible open kitchen space, which naturally blends with living space, easily invites socializing while the cook creates culinary magic!
This sturdy 6-burner cooktop is right at home in its modern digs, with sleek counters on either side and smooth exhaust, above. Big windows on either side, are welcomed features for any cook.
Don't you just love the chronological blend of time periods in the appliances here, especially in the pendant fixture over the island? It brings a classy rustic feel, doesn't it?
Triple patio doors in the living area give comfortable and inviting access to outside!
This is your amazing primary ensuite bedroom/bath with a combination of current period decor. A slice of 4 square, high windows, here, actually give you more wall space for your treasured pieces. At right, is a beautiful and economical sliding barn door to your primary ensuite bath.
