This classic 1928 home, featuring antique wood floors, high ceilings, vintage light fixtures, Arts & Crafts-style wainscoting and woodburning fireplaces, is located on a quiet Montrose street in deed-restricted Winlow Place. The four-bedroom home was updated in 2014-2016 with new HVAC, roof, electrical, foundation, plumbing and kitchen.
The old-fashioned landscaping is dreamy, with reclaimed wrought iron fencing around the front garden, a goldfish pond, garden arch and Pennsylvania bluestone paving.
For years the owners have prowled Historic Houston, antique shops and eBay looking for period details, such as this pair of gas lanterns. Found treasures were carefully cleaned and restored to working order.
This home feels like a warm hug from the minute you step inside the foyer.
Call it the library, the parlor, the gathering room or the formal living room. If you love "dark academia" interior design, this will be your favorite room.
Exquisite details abound, such as this vintage stone fireplace surround.
