A last look at 2814 Newman. The garage is discretely tucked away at the side of the property.Built by Unicus Developments in 2017 (per HCAD), this sleek and practical patio home offers the city life you enjoy with the private lifestyle you want. Outside, a walled courtyard with a cocktail pool is the transition from the street to the front door. Just inside, the large den or guest suite with a wet bar and a full bath are on the ground floor. Kitchen, living room and dining room area flow together via an open plan on the second floor. A secondary bedroom (use it as an office, perhaps?) and full bath are tucked in behind the open public area. The third floor has the elegant primary suite, a secondary bedroom and utility room. All bedrooms have ensuite baths. An elevator serves all three floors. Tucked away in a horseshoe-shaped street half-way between Kirby and S Shepherd and just south of Westheimer, 2814 Newman is nestled in Upper Kirby, one of the city's most dynamic areas. This is the rare Houston location where you just might not need a car.
