    What's special

    Pool-size yardExpansive commercial-grade windowsTurfed lawnEfficient floor planExposed structural beamsFire pit
    8/9 OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED Exceptional architecture defines this one-of-a-kind, elevator-ready Butterfly Loft, a modern interpretation of Houston’s traditional shotgun house. Exposed structural beams, expansive commercial-grade windows & the iconic two-story screened porch with double-sided fireplace create dramatic spaces, blurring the boundaries between indoors & out. Natural light fills the home, while an efficient floor plan flows naturally: 3rd-floor primary retreat, 2nd-floor living with “tree house views” & a flexible 1st floor with mini kitchen & full bath. Outdoor living complements the architecture with a pool-size yard, covered Canadian cedar therapy tub, turfed lawn, garden & fire pit—plus the confidence of a whole-house generator. A home that feels open yet intimate, dramatic yet welcoming—where exceptional architecture isn’t simply admired, but experienced every day.
