The back and side lot of this home are diverse. Multi terraced seating areas, a pool deck and immense lot which meets the culvert near the walking path to Thomas L James Park.

Primary bedroom boasts built in lighting, can lighting, ceiling fan and fabulous closet space.
Primary bedroom in this photo has been virtually staged . 
Double gliding, mirrored doors lead to your extensive closet space built for organization. 
The Primary Bath was also part of the major 2010 renovation. It has spa like features, multiple shower heads, extra large walk in shower area, double variable height sinks, and a nod to the original vintage of the home with it's retro tiles and the original multi panel door, reclaimed from the home which leads to the deck making clean up easy access after working in the yard, swimming or fishing off the bulk head. 
Your smaller primary bedroom still has the 1950 vintage pink en-suite shower tub combo. An abundance of natural light from two directions. Details such as the glass door knobs are subtle touches of the original home. 
The original tiles can be found throughout our neighborhood. These are some of the best maintained tiles I have seen and there is something magical about that by gone era that sings to the heart. Bath shower combo. 
Back secondary bedroom has natural light from the side yard and backyard for a consistent natural light throughout the day. All windows have been replaced throughout the house. 
Secondary bedroom share the "blue bathroom" with the middle bedroom and serves as a guest bath. 
The original tile work has been preserved as part of the integrity of the home. Bath shower combo. Ample counter top, laundry shoot and storage. Space heater for a classic cool vibe (but is non functioning) 
Middle bedroom is the washroom which is central to the heart of the home. W/D were originally where the primary bath now is, this room can serve many purposes. It was the quilting/sewing room for the Seller and has beautiful light, storage and beautiful washer and dryer which can stay with an accepted offer on a Bill of Sale.
Unique feature alert!!! The Sellers kept the original fold away ironing board (s) which folds and tucks away. Again a piece of nostalgia along with the laundry hamper in the "blue bath". 
Pure heaven...this outdoor living space is where you will most likely spend the majority of your time. Gurgling Talavera fountain, gentle breezes off the creek, migratory bird song, and yes, the Southern Pacific chimes in as well...but this is old Sugar Land. This is a special home, full of unique spaces, grounded in the history of Sugar Land, waiting for you to make your own memories here.
Multi tiered decking, custom covered patio, above ground pool, original bulkhead and a view like no other. The waterway is populated by scull teams, dragon boats teams, stand up paddlers, kayaks and electric motorboats call all be seen navigating on your doorstep. 
Patio party lights, and recessed lighting, create ambiance. Nature provides the real show with spectacular sunrises and evening light, brilliant moons rises over the creek set to the sound of crickets, tree frogs and occasional bullfrogs.
The creek has many migratory visitors as well. Blue and great white herons, little green herons nest here each spring, bufflehead, wood duck, and Muscovy navigate among the cormorants, slider and red ear turtles. 
The above ground vinyl pool is maintained by a pool company weekly and the contact information is provided. It is just enough pool to cool off during the warmer, more humid Sugar Land summers. 
The ample side yard is super versatile. Horseshoes, Cornhole, BBQ pit and pizza oven smoker? It has a cute potting area that is plumbed for a sink which the Sellers took to their new home. The panels screw on the the windows as storm protectors on this side of the house. The mini fame fits neatly into the garage back door to allow air flow allowing the door to remain open. The next door neighbor provides a privacy wall. There are no windows which look into 411 though it appears so.
411 Venice's deck can be seen on the creek on the bottom left side of the photo and the triangular lot goes to almost the beginning of the sidewalk. 
Sunset on the creek. Another Belknap Brookside favorite activity is "Christmas on the Creek" Held annually the beginning of December to kick off the holiday season. Neighbors gather with goodies, to greet the big guy in the red suit at Thomas L James Park. A City of Sugar Land managed park in our own neighborhood! Christmas on the Creek and National Night Out are both actively attended neighborhood events. We are a community who looks out for each other and one that deeply cares about our histor
Because the foliage is not lush at this time, I am including a summer shot of the creek to show just how magnificent she is in the summer. Fall brings brilliant displays of Tallow Berry and Bradford Pear foliage displays. Drive through the neighborhood now and you will see beautiful showing Azaleas, Red Buds, Buddleia, Tulip Trees, and the beginning hints of purple Mountain Laurel.
One of the multiple benches along the walking path at Thomas L James park that literally meets the 411 property line. We have a community of some 4th generation Sugar Land residents, and if you can take the time to spend some time on one of these benches with them, your life will be richer for it. 
Even though Belknap Brookside is somewhat frozen in time, we are a stone's throw from the bustling city. Because the SL Regional Airport is owned by the city, you can stop anytime and grab a coffee and enjoy watching the planes from one of the big rocking chairs outside the terminal. Did you know our runway is actually longer than any any Hobby? 
Play Ball...this is such a wonderful outing. Great seats even in the grassland! Fun food, lots of activities for all ages throughout the Space Cowboy's games. AAA team for the Houston Astros! This is literally in our backyard! 
Constellation Field is just the begining of what is hopefully to come with the restoration of the Char House and development of the Imperial Site. 
Events are held at Constellation Field throughout the year. Sugar Land Holiday Lights, Diwali Festival, Concerts, even discount tickets for Ballgames for those 50 or better! A good old fashion ballpark with great amenities! 
Imperial Recreation Center and TE Harmon Senior Activity Centers are both just outside our neighborhood across from our own USPS and Sugar Land Fire House #1 for EMS, fire and medical needs. They will even come check to make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are up to snuff!
