This Mediterranean-influenced four bedroom/three and a half bath bedazzles with scrolling exterior and interior ironwork, terra cotta roof, and a rustic stone accented façade.
Beauty and braun: not just appealing for its pretty, manicured front landscaping and scallop shelled stone pavered private drive, the two-car garage boasts a recently installed Liftmaster wall-mount wi-fi garage door opener (2019) and garage door springs (2021) as well as an epoxy-coated floor.
An atmospheric, pavered sidewalk leads from the iron entry front gate to the front door. A security system with cameras monitoring this walkway, the rear patio, and front of the property helps protect the scene. An accompanying security system network video recorder also conveys with the purchase of the house.
A series of arched pass throughs, arched cupboards, and a tray ceiling emphasize the sweeping open plan design.
Abundant in luxury touches, plantation shutters, hardwoods, prominent crown and base molding, and fine-crafted millwork repeat throughout the floorplan. Both the first-floor living area and the third-floor flex space feature integrated 5.1 Surround Sound.
Alluring with its garden-focused design, the architecture is sculptured around manicured courtyard views.
Hearth of the home: the Heatilator natural gas fireplace with faux log assembly offers comfort and warm in any season and the above space is TV wall-mount ready. Complimenting that focal point, built-in bookcases with glass shelving provide a welcome spot for extra family room storage.
Beckon the outside in through wide French doors and sidelights that capture topiary style trees and trimmed, mini boxwood hedges and a not-to-distant view of the antique-look fountain.
Beautiful days signal outdoor living in this well-appointed urban delight. Adding to the mix is a backyard Weber Genesis propane gas grill, which conveys with the purchase of the property.
An aerial view of the back yard captures the multi-hued plantings, paver design, and clever arrangement of gathering spots. In the lower part of the photo, the edge of the main bedroom’s balcony illustrates the overlook to the garden. A new privacy fence was installed in 2023.
Dinner, cocktails, fountain. Flanked by shapely shrubs and trees, the ornate wall fountain wows from any vantage point. Add music via the connected Bose back patio speakers.
Your new home at 214 Malone is located in the heart of Houston’s hubbub but this aerial shot shows the privacy and individuality of its spot in the community.

New ironwork chandeliers, recessed lighting, transom windows instill a Mediterranean vibe indoors.
Gentle elegance and stylish drama are revealed in the details of the dining room chandelier.
This high-functioning island with ornamental footing and an extended granite counter for bar seating command center stage in a gourmet hub. Oil rubbed bronze hardware accents all the cabinet pulls, and under-cabinet lighting brightens the workspace.
The clean lines and custom crafting of your stainless-steel suite of Kitchenaid appliances (five-burner cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator) turn mealtime into a piece of cake. The Zephyr overhead range vent and apron-front farm sink complete the appliance package.
