Welcome to 8015 Colgate Drive nestled in Glenbrook Valley, a historic district community named a Top 'Old House Neighborhood' by "This Old House!" Eloquently maintained and updated, this home and the entire community are located just one exit outside Loop 610.
The homes in Glenbrook Valley take you back to a simpler time, when homes were sturdy brick-and-mortar, mail slots and diamond grid transom windows were chic (and these are original to the home), and 'vintage charm' was the real deal! Welcome in!
Original terrazzo floors great you in this light and bright entryway, flanked by the formal living with warm hardwood flooring. The simple, classic midcentury architecture of this home gives it a familiar friendly feel.
The formal living of the home is adorned with a large sunlit window, but not to worry - the windows have all been updated to energy efficient standards of today! Luxurious hardwood, crisp bright paint, and 5 inch baseboards complete the look.
The formal dining has been restored similar to its original look, with retro drum chandelier, picture frame paneling, hardwood flooring, and diamond grid bay window. A convenient door to the kitchen makes for easy entertaining.
Lots of care was taken to ensure the kitchen was up to the standards to today's cook, while still maintaining some vintage appeal. Exposed brick island with 5-burner Bosch cooktop, stained concrete flooring, granite counters, and wine rack are some of its upgraded features.
Another view of the kitchen gives a floorpan view including the breakfast nook - all stainless appliances, tons of cabinet storage, glass tile backsplash - everything a chef needs to entertain guests and household!
Add your own eclectic flair to this family room, complete an elongated raised bar to the kitchen, lighted ceiling fan, original terrazzo flooring, and access points to kitchen, and bonus room.
Another view of the family room gives you a floorplan view plus a glimpse of the bonus room beyond. Entertaining, relaxing, or working from home - all are possible in this wonderful home!
What would you do with this flexible use bonus room? Exposed brick, a wall of sunlit windows with bamboo shades, and stained concrete flooring offer a base for a variety of uses including office, game room, playroom - whatever you desire!
Inviting hardwood flooring welcomes you to the private master bedroom, offering a vibrant accent wall, lighted oiled bronze ceiling fan, 2 closets including one spacious walk-in, and all the relaxed vintage feel of the rest of this special home.
The master bath has been given a major facelift while still keeping with the midcentury vibe of Glenbrook Valley - granite counters with double raised rectangular vessel sinks, frameless walk-in shower, tile flooring, and brushed nickel fixtures = wow!
Plantation shutters atop a bay window, cool neutral paint, a lighted ceiling fan, and the continued hardwood flooring welcome you to the oversized secondary bedroom. In addition to ample floor space, this room also offers dual closets for storage.
Continued hardwood flooring can also be found in the 3rd bedroom, which offers similar features as this home's other rooms, including neutral paint, oversized energy efficient window, and lighted ceiling fan.
A rare architectural find is this secondary bathroom with original touches! Vintage shell pink subway tile, full counter seated vanity, dual undermount sinks, retro fixtures and hardware, and sleek dark cabinets transport you back to the future (Yep, what's old is new again!).
Orange, fig, blackberry, and persimmon can all be enjoyed in this spacious backyard, complete with raised flower beds, detached garage, and a nearly new AC system. Enjoy this prime location close to UH, botanical gardens, Med Center, and downtown - call today to schedule a private showing!
