Shaded by majestic shade trees on an unusually large lot. Just barely outside the loop with quick access to downtown, the med center & UH. 
Brickwork details and leaded glass windows add to the character of this unique home. 
Front formal living room with picture rail molding and huge bay window for great natural light. 
Across the terrazzo floored entry hall is the elegant formal dining with crystal chandelier and leaded glass windows. 
Opposite view of the formal dining room. The house is basically a blank slate ready for your refresh to bring out it's true potential. 
Huge paneled den with poured in place terrazzo flooring, beamed ceiling, built ins, windows that wrap around the imposing brick fireplace with gas logs. 
Lots of windows for good light and to take advantage of the views of the spectacular backyard. 
Adjacent breakfast room with wall of windows. Terrazzo might exist under this laminate flooring. Great informal dining area. 
Another view, door leads to spacious utility room, half bath. Bar area that's adjacent to the kitchen on the right. 
The bar area is very functional, and acts as an extension of your kitchen area. Great for entertaining. 
Big corner windows, smooth top range, nice size pantry (just out of the shot). Corner windows & large window sill is a great place for plants. 
Half bath down, off kitchen/breakfast/utility room area. 
Utility room with direct access to the backyard, the garage, or the carport. Second staircase, (first is between the formal living and den), leads to a bonus room or 5th bedroom. 
Sunny bonus room above the garage. Great secluded home office, kids playroom, studio, so many options!
Back downstairs, at the opposite end of the house is the huge primary bedroom with a wide bay window with built in storage. Great for taking in the views of the lush backyard. Multiple closets for great storage.
Primary bath with terrazzo flooring dual sinks, and plenty of space. 
There is another bedroom across the hallway from the primary bedroom. It has laminate flooring (over slab), corner windows with leaded glass. This could easily be combined with the primary to create a true suite, as a dressing area, study, or nursery. Great as a guest bedroom as well if you have visitors that cannot do stairs. 
Upstairs in the main house, you have two very spacious bedrooms with lots of built ins and great storage. There is even a big walk in cedar lined closet in the hallway. 
Both upstairs bedrooms are big, with great storage. 
There's also a full bath up with dual sinks. 
Back downstairs, off the den and breakfast room is a nice covered deck area. 
Plenty or room for patio sets.
The backyard is unusual. This is definitely not the cookie-cutter set up. At around a half acre, it's a great find so close to downtown at this price point. 
Instead of looking at the back of your neighbors house, you back up to a beautiful wooded tributary to the bayou, no prior flooding per sellers. This really is a unique setting that sets this home apart. 
Close up of the creek area behind the house. It's feels like your off in the middle of the woods, and yet you're only about 8 miles to downtown. You will not find a better setting!
Glenbrook was featured in Houstonia magazine's "Best Places to Live" feature, twice! This Old House also dubbed it a top old house neighborhood.
Other homes in the neighborhood have been featured in magazines in recent years. Glenbrook is a treasure trove of unique & interesting homes.
The fabulous Houston Botanic Garden is in the immediate area.
Scenic Houston invested millions to beautify the area. 
No less an authority than This Old House selected Glenbrook Valley as a top old house neighborhood, and one of it's Editors top picks!
Tucked deep into the most desirable & quiet section of the highly-acclaimed historic district. Spacious over 1/2 acre tree-shaded lot with a wooded creek across the back providing a gorgeous lush backdrop & added privacy. An incredible setting that makes you forget you’re only about 8 miles from downtown! Double door entry with poured terrazzo flooring extending into the spacious paneled den with FP & beamed ceiling. Formal living with bay window, formal dining with leaded glass windows. Primary BR down with bay window seat & adjacent secondary BR that would make a great home office, nursery or guest room for visitors that can’t do stairs. 2 more big BRS & 1 bath up plus 2nd stairs off roomy utility room to bonus room above garage. Great playroom or more secluded home office. Kitchen with sunny corner windows & breakfast area overlooking covered deck. Tons of character & no flooding per sellers. Ready for your glow up & priced to allow a buyer room to put their own personal touches
