Welcome to 11507 Briar Rose Drive! Let's begin our home journey with the lovely heated salt water pool...The sellers made many improvements to the pool in 2020 including: new variable speed pool pump, new pool cartridge filter, new pool salt system (automation), new smart device adapter (remotely controls pool/spa/heater/lights/cleaner), new pool air blower and new pool heater! All above-ground pool plumbing has been replaced, as well!
This beautiful and stately Village West home in the Energy Corridor area of Houston comes with over $200K in improvements (both interior and exterior). You can view the expansive list under 'Documents' - the sellers have truly taken meticulous care of this home! 
This property features a driveway gate and security cameras. Additionally, in 2016 the sellers improved the drainage around the entire property and extended drainage to the street. 
The rounded front drive offers enough parking space for quite a large gathering! In 2021, the sellers added plants to the front landscaping, new brick edging and all new sprinkler lines and sprinkler heads. 
Here we see the beautiful entry doors and entryway. The stairs on the left have been recently refinished, and lead to the upstairs loft living space and the secondary bedrooms and bath. Toward the rear of the photo is the fabulous kitchen!
The kitchen offers ample natural light coming from the energy efficient windows - all windows in this home, and both sets of sliding glass patio doors, were replaced in 2015!
The kitchen also features an island cooktop, stainless steel appliances and plenty of cabinet space! Just beyond the cabinets at the rear of the photo lies the breakfast area. 
...Another view of the kitchen highlighting its many windows, ample counter space and complete functionality! 
Here we have a view from the breakfast area looking toward the kitchen - note the upgraded, matching lighting fixtures throughout this entire area. All lighting and lighting fixtures in this home were replaced in 2014. 
The lovely breakfast area is quite large and bright! The door to the rear of the photo leads to the fabulously remodeled utility room, which can be seen in the next photo. 
In 2020, the sellers greatly improved this laundry/utility room. They added new cabinetry and lighting and also a pocket door to maximize the usable space! Note the wonderful countertops and large sink area!
Here we have the expansive formal dining room with its lovely overhead lighting fixture, relaxing and elegant color palette and beautiful views! 
...Another view of the formal dining room which shows its location in relation to the kitchen and breakfast areas. This home has a great floorplan!
On the opposite side of this home, we have the enormous living area which features a vaulted ceiling, a bar area and a floor to ceiling gas log fireplace. In 2020, the sellers replaced the bar cabinets and countertop. The ironwork you see in the upper left corner of the photo is a brilliant safety feature which was added to the loft living space!
What a great room! Note the large windows on the left, and the sliding glass door patio access on the right! In 2019, the sellers replaced the existing water tank with a tankless water heater, and also replaced the existing galvanized plumbing in the entire home with PEX plumbing!
This is a great view of the living space which highlights the size of the bar area and the gorgeous view to the outdoors!
The Primary Suite is spacious and offers private access to the covered patio and pool area. With its lovely fanlight fixture and calming color palette, this room is sure to be enjoyed!
...Another view of the Primary Suite which shows the wonderful natural light - which comes from the generously sized, Low E, energy efficient, dual pane insulated sliding glass doors - and gives us a glimpse into the en suite bathroom area.
The sellers went above and beyond with this bathroom remodel in 2014. Here we can see the custom walk-in closets, beautifully upgraded countertop, linen closet, mirrors and faucets AND the gorgeous, highly desirable insulated copper soaking tub!
The Primary Bath also offers a spacious shower area with a custom glass shower door! But let's get back to that incredible bathtub - copper bathtubs are durable, mold-resistant, antibacterial, eco friendly, have excellent heat retention and enjoy an incredibly long life span while offering many other health benefits besides! And just look at that beautiful tile surround - this room was exceptionally well designed!
Here we see the serene view from the primary bedroom to the expansive covered patio area with its mature landscaping and the beautiful heated salt water pool...a peaceful, relaxing outdoor experience is never far away. 
Another photo showing the wonderful floorplan - let's take a walk up those stairs on the right and see the loft living area and secondary bedrooms and bath...
The spacious loft living area with its wall of built-in shelving could function as a game room, secondary living area or a home office. The possibilities are endless!
Here we have one of three secondary bedrooms upstairs. All secondary bedrooms are generously sized and offer soothing color palettes. 
The secondary full bath has also been elegantly upgraded and features dual sinks, dual mirrors and lighting fixtures in addition to excellent countertop and cabinet space!
...Another secondary bedroom - all carpeting in this wonderful home was replaced in 2022, and in 2015 a Nest thermostat and Nest Protect Smart Smoke & CO Alarms were installed throughout. 
This is the third upstairs bedroom and a great opportunity to mention that the water softening system in this home was also upgraded in 2021! The current owners have made many, many other improvements aside from those mentioned here...please refer to the full list under 'Documents' to get a better idea of how extensively and well this home has been cared for! 
The covered patio area at the rear of the home is a wonderful place to relax, entertain and play! Notice the upgraded lighting fixtures and lovely sliding glass patio doors which were replaced in 2015. The HVAC coil and condenser were replaced in 2019! 
...Another view of this fabulous and easy to maintain backyard oasis! The pool was resurfaced in 2016, along with adding new coping, skimmers and lights. Concrete stamping was also added over the old pebble walkways around the patio and pool.
In 2017, the sellers installed this Generac gas line connected, whole-house generator and electrical converter - no worries about power outages at this home!
