Beloved family home located at 4609 Rusk on a rare 10,950 sf lot in historic Eastwood!
Inviting 4 bedroom Craftsman style in Eastwood. Homeowners have painted and replaced all fascia and soffit boards with Hardie Plank siding for low maintenance living!
Eastwood was one of Houston’s first master-planned subdivisions, designed and developed in 1911 by William A. Wilson and maintains the City's largest intact collection of Craftsman homes.
Charming Craftsman style with gabled roof, overhanging eaves, exposed rafters and covered porch; history and simplicity evoke classic style.
A house truly connected to simpler times with the covered front porch, authentic bead board ceiling and original front door! 
Wrapped in nostalgia, this 12'x13' foyer sets the tone of the home with original hardwood floors, preserved millwork and vintage lighting. 
Homeowners were careful to respect the house's historic roots, including the massive front door, moldings and chandelier. 
A foyer so welcoming that it has proven to be a space that people want to spend time and not just simply pass through.
Original pocket doors are so charming! They allowed for flow between parlor and foyer, and then closed the rooms for intimate gatherings. 
Pocket doors of yesteryear can be an unsung hero in room design, freeing up valuable floor space by sliding discreetly on a track to provide privacy or connectivity between rooms. 
True to its 1917 period design, the parlor (living room) is showcased with built-in book cases, columns and a connection to the outdoors with oversized windows. 
Built for function and practical style this home touts original handiwork and harmony with nature and surrounding landscape.
Thoughtfully preserving the architecture of the home, the HVAC vents were installed through the floor.
Rooted in history, this home celebrates an open floor plan with an easy flow between the parlor and dining room - but specifically defined with the built-ins and exaggerated millwork.
Full of endless detail and character, note the double doors (center of photo) that lead to the most charming space, flooded with light and bookshelves.
Looking back through the double pocket doors is a stunning view of the foyer with lovely original staircase.
Clean and simple lines but so much original character with thick woodwork and original doors.
Dining room is a work of art with built-ins defining the space, the millwork, fireplace and set of doors that lead to an intimate room lined with book shelves.
Gatherings are encouraged in this 17'x17' dining room that has been the center of family life and entertaining for many years!
This home exudes feelings of family and warmth! The dining room fireplace is no exception, with its nickel-plated surround and handcrafted mantle.
The dining room also offers pool views and easily accesses the backyard through the adjoining reading room/library.
So many uses for this sweet room (adjoined by the living room and the dining room). Could serve as a study, library, homework area, reading room or playroom.
Convenient access to backyard and pool!
Half bath located downstairs. Note original hardware throughout the home that has been preserved and replated.
Kitchen with ample storage and counter space. Gas cooktop!
Kitchen located toward the rear of the house and easily accesses dining room.
Kitchen accesses utility room to the right.
Half bath conveniently located near the kitchen and dining room.

A convenient storage closet located on the stairway landing.
Four bedrooms upstairs, along with a charming space for homework (or possibly a future primary bath or closet). Brand new carpet!

Ten foot ceilings and original doors and hardware are all in keeping true to the historic era.
