Fabulous extensively updated Memorial home tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in highly desirable Bunker Hill Woods. Charming curb appeal and huge 0.584 acre lot. Newer windows, underground plumbing lines replaced 2011, freshly painted interior and exterior, new insulation. Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street, the entire home has been tastefully and thoroughly remodeled in 2019 and 2020 with a new open floorplan.
This beautiful home is packed full of updates! Sewer lines to street main were replaced in 2011. All of the water supply lines, from the shutoff valve to inside the house have been replaced new in 2019. Two new AC units were installed in 2019 and completed in 2020. The large new house next door was built on piers with a full-lot underground water retention system to keep water from neighbor’s lots during heavy rains.
Part of the extensive landscaping in 2019 and 2020 included a new elevated driveway and railroad-tie wall on the north and east sides of the entire lot. The driveway apron slopes toward the street instead of into the yard as previously existed, to keep water from draining from the street. A railroad tie ‘curb’ along the road was installed to keep street water in the street, where it belongs. The house has an attached double car garage w/auto door opener & new epoxy covering on the floor.
Extensive landscaping in 2019 thru the nearly 0.6 acre lot was made to increase grade away from house & promote quick drainage to city drain located in the rear of the lot. The resulting 8” deep geo-tech fabric-lined French drains were filled with large Bull Rock to facilitate crossing and minimize fill. It also provides a clear pathway thru the flowers & greenery of the back yard. The French drain system runs throughout the property & drains to the back of the property to a city drain.
The backyard paradise that's truly an entertainer’s dream! Resort-like setting! The large landscaped green area around the pool and behind the house is fenced in with chain link to provide a ‘run’ area for dogs. The self-locking gates and chain link fence improve security without reducing the large open feeling of your forest within the city. The lovely tall pines and oaks create a private sanctuary.
The jasmine-draped pergola overlooks the pool and lushly landscaped yard. The raised solid wood planking was newly smoothed and sealed in 2020. The patio offers lots of room for loungers and table & chairs. This backyard is the perfect peaceful retreat!
The newly renovated 2019 heated spa and pool becomes the focus for parties and quiet alike with sliding door access to the master bedroom for a late night dip. A door leading from the kitchen/living room area also accesses the pool area allowing the party to flow outside.
Massive backyard green space. Tons of room for children and dogs to play. Plenty of space for a playground set. New (2019-2020) sprinkler system, French drains throughout, and covered gutters installed. Notice all of the mature pine and oak trees creating a wooded environment. Bull rock placed in new (2019) deep trenches/French Drains to enhance drainage and provide walking paths. The house was built in 1967 and for 50 years never saw water until Harvey.
