1519 Harness Oaks Ct. in The Courts in Parkway Villages offers one story living with a lovely cocktail pool, 3 car garage, and much more!
The Courts is a small, gated community of patio homes. 1519 Harness Oaks is possibly the ONLY one story in the neighborhood with both a pool and a 3 car garage.
You might not have three cars to fill the garages, but what a great storage area for your bikes, lawn equipment, sporting equipment, etc. And there is room for off the street parking at the right side of the driveway.
Built by Village Builders, the home is brick construction with well thought out features such as this covered front porch which welcomes and protects your visitors from the weather.
What a wonderful first impression upon entering the home - gleaming wood floors, high ceilings finished with double crown molding, and a very open floor plan!
2020 changed the way we work. Home office space has become essential. This home has a large study and a "surprise space" that can be used as a small office, or great for storage. Note the French doors that can be closed for privacy, and the door leading to the home's atrium.
Built in bookcases at the back of the photo stay with the home.
Hidden behind a glass paned door is the "surprise space"! Previous owners used it as an office; Present owners use it as an extra storage area.
Filled with the natural light from the atrium, this is the perfect dining room for family get togethers, special occasions day or night. 
Looking down the hallway towards the living room, please notice the large niche for artwork. Just past the dining room before the living room is a powder room half bath (not pictured).
The art niche adds a special feeling to the home as does the stone fireplace with a wood mantle in the living room. This hallway leads to the two other bedrooms and full bath.
What a glorious bar- seats 6 comfortably and allows whoever is in the kitchen to still be part of the conversation!
Kitchen is also open to the living room. An abundance of cabinet space provides so much storage. Walk in pantry door is next to the work area desk and island with a gas cooktop. 
More storage and stainless steel appliances.
This is such a lovely area to have your morning meal, and to enjoy the view through the energy efficient windows.
Exit through the back door to the large, covered patio which provides a comfortable space to enjoy that second cup of coffee, or an evening beverage!
Wow! Enjoy the heated cocktail pool all year long in our Houston weather.
The pathway leads to the side gate, and the yard has many French drains to help prevent pooling water. The Courts did not flood during Harvey. In fact, the streets were dry.
Spacious living room has a gas log fireplace and a decorative window above the mantle. To the left in this photo, you can see the entrance to the primary bedroom.
Note the sloped ceiling in the primary bedroom and the double doors which lead to the ensuite bathroom.
These windows provide a great view of your pool area.
Primary bath with its own skylight, has separate sink areas, a sit down vanity, jetted tub, and a glass walled shower!
Hidden behind the center door is the toilet. The two walk-in closets are large.

The secondary bedrooms are also bright and light. 
Both bedrooms have good size closets and ceiling fans.
Secondary bathroom serves both of these bedrooms.
The second bedroom also has a large, shuttered window, allowing lots of natural light.
Great house. Great neighborhood. A truly great place to call home!
One last look at the inviting pool.
Being in this private, gated community adds to the appeal of this special patio home!One story and beautiful, 1519 Harness Oaks Ct. is possibly the ONLY home in The Courts with a three car garage AND a cocktail pool! This immaculate home has an open floor plan connecting the kitchen and the entertaining areas while providing separation between the primary and the two secondary bedrooms.
