Welcome to 6016 Lake Street, where old world charm seamlessly blends with modern day living, offering almost 3100sf of versatile living space.
Welcoming Front Porch. The original home was part of the original development of West University back in the 1930's. The home was extended in 1992. 
LIVING ROOM. This room is unusually spacious for an old cottage and light filled thanks to double pane windows all down one side.
LIVING. The living space lends itself to multiple furniture configurations. The existing owners used the section nearest the kitchen as a play space for their young children. 
LIVING. Note the hardwood floors which run throughout the entire home and the double pain windows with plantation shutters. All the walls were recently painted.
DINING. Located just off the kitchen, the dining space is the star of it's own show and not a designated open plan space next to a living space. Imagine cozy family dinners and hosting friends here. The current owners also used this space as a 4th bedroom as it has a closet.
STUDY. Located off the stairwell and den, this is a delightful home office with built in shelving and patio door access to the outdoor living spaces. 
KITCHEN. Underwent a major update in 2021 with new Quaker style cabinet doors, Taj Mahal Quartzite countertops, subway tile backsplash, new sinks, fridge, microwave, cooktop and downdraft.
KITCHEN. Sits adjacent to a cute breakfast area and is also just off the main living and the den so you can easily be in the kitchen and keep an eye on family or guests.
KITCHEN. New Bosch microwave in 2021, new electric cooktop and downdraft in 2022. New fridge in 2022.
BREAKFAST AREA. With built in bench seating with underneath storage. Connects with the Den at the back of the home. 
DEN. Situated at the back of the home and part of the 1992 addition, the den is the perfect, cozy room to snuggle up and watch TV.
DEN. Fling open the patio doors on a lovely spring day and extend the living space out onto the back deck and private back yard. 
A view looking back from the den to the breakfast area and kitchen. 
This shot shows the location of the stairs. The powder room is on the left next opposite the stairs and the study is just beyond that.
POWDER ROOM. With a gorgeous, custom, stand alone cabinet for the sink.
PRIMARY SUITE. The size of this home is always a surprise to anyone who stops by because the 1992 addition is at the back of the home. That addition allowed for a huge, primary bedroom suite to be added to the main cottage.
PRIMARY BEDROOM. The primary suite consists of sleeping area and a sitting area which the current owners used for exercise. Note the tray ceiling. 
PRIMARY BEDROOM. Built ins for yet more storage. 
PRIMARY BEDROOM. A perfect spot for the Peloton.
PRIMARY BEDROOM BALCONY. How lovely is this balcony just off the primary bedroom. Overlooking the private yard and surrounded by trees, this is a perfect spot to take a breather.
Looking back into the primary bedroom suite from the balcony.
PRIMARY BATHROOM. Another spacious area and not what is typically found in old cottages. Part of the 1992 addition, the primary bathroom rivals any home built today with large tub, stand alone shower and double sinks.
PRIMARY CLOSET. Closets in older homes tend to be tiny but not at 6016 Lake. Check out how big this is. The parquet tile is a classically beautiful feature.
BEDROOM TWO. Located on the first floor, this bedroom sits at the front of the home and has a full bathroom right next door. The current owners used this room as a second home office. 
BEDROOM TWO
BATHROOM TWO. Located immediately next to Bedroom 2 off a private hall way (so it doesn't open out straight into the living room). Pedestal sink, bidet toilet and tub/shower.
BEDROOM THREE. Located on the second floor across the hallway from the primary bedroom yet has its own access hallway and bathroom so can be closed off to keep the noise down if you use this room for children or guests.
BEDROOM THREE
BEDROOM FOUR. The current owners used the dining space downstairs as an extra bedroom but this room off bedroom three can also be used as a bedroom or a cute gameroom/study space off Bedroom three. Large, walk in closet on the right.
BATHROOM THREE. With updated countertops, tub/shower and a neutral color palette. 
LAUNDRY. Located on the second floor and offers great storage and soaking sink.
BACK YARD. One of the best features about the outdoor spaces for 6016 Lake is that some of it is covered so you can be out in the hot sun or the rain and still enjoy outdoor living. 
BACKYARD. The backyard is completely surrounded by trees and greenery so it feels like your own little corner of the world back here.
BACK PORCH. Located just off the den and study, the current owners loved this covered space for their children to be able to play outside in all weathers.

RICE VILLAGE. Lake Street is a quiet West U street, yet just minutes away and you have Rice Village on your doorstep. Enjoy walking to your favorite coffee shop or dinner on Friday night, brunch on a Sunday morning.
WEST U ELEMENTARY. One of the most highly ranked elementary schools in Texas and a major reason why West U continues to be really popular. 
Weir Park or as the locals call it "Sunset or Nottingham Park". Walkable from the home and has play equipment and tennis courts. West U has several parks for you to enjoy.
Tennis Courts at Weir Park
TINYS. West U is its own city with the city of Houston and as such we have our own city council, police and fire department. Best of all we have some really great amenities in West U town center with Tinys "hole in the wall" coffee shop being a local favorite.
COLONIAL PARK. One of several parks. Many kids have learned to ride their bikes on the trail around the green space and almost every weekend, you'll see a birthday party being held in one of the covered gazebos.
WEST U POOLS. Colonial Park pool is open through the summer but we also have the Rec Center which has a pool open year around plus a gym and array of neighborhood classes and activities.
RICE UNIVERSITY. Did you know that Rice University has a gravel track around it's perimeter, shaded by ancient live oaks? It's a local favorite place to go walking or running year round. This track is walkable from Lake.
RICE UNIVERSITY. Just minutes from the home. Work at Rice and walk to work!
TEXAS MEDICAL CENTER. One of the largest medical centers on the planet and is a few minutes drive from West U making the neighborhood extremely popular with doctors and medical staff.
