Bunker Hill Village home with firepole open Sunday 1-3 p.m.

- By Lisa Zapalac HOMES CORRESPOND­ENT

Open today, Sunday, Sept. 16, from 1-3 p.m., the home at 11711 Cobbleston­e Drive is on a village acre in Bunker Hill and is zoned to the Spring Branch Independen­t School District.

Listing agent Amy Bernstein of Bernstein Realty describes the home as truly unique, with many custom constructi­on elements including a constructi­on-grade foundation with concrete-grade beams supported by concrete-drilled footings under the ground floor slab, steel framing and 8 inches of concrete between floors to minimize noise.

The three-story classic home with more than 5,400 square feet is on a cul-de-sac and has a large front yard enhanced with mature trees. Glass-paneled double doors topped by a clear transom highlight the home’s two-story entry.

Open to the entry, the living room includes plush carpet, original plantation shutters and recessed lighting.

The den features hexagon tile floors, a woodburnin­g fireplace with brick surround and gas starter; a pass-through bar to the kitchen, floor-toceiling built-ins and expansive windows that view the backyard.

The formal dining room showcases wall sconces, hexagon tile floors, a wood-paneled accent wall, exposed wood beams and floor-to-ceiling windows.

The kitchen is open to the den with a breakfast bar and also has hexagon tile floors, abundant cabinetry, laminate countertop­s, an electronic cooktop, double ovens and wallpaper accents.

Located on the first floor, the large master suite includes plush carpet; expansive windows bringing in natural light; two large closets; and a bath with tile floors, double vanities with wood cabinetry and a tiled shower.

A first-floor study with plantation shutters and plush carpet could also be a sixth bedroom.

Upstairs, the game room has an 8-inch-thick poured concrete floor that minimizes noise, built-ins, and access to a balcony that includes a firepole exit to the first floor — complete with a railing and a safety hatch.

All of the secondary bedrooms are spacious, adding to the flexibilit­y of the floor plan. One of the secondary baths features pink laminate countertop­s, double sinks and a tub/shower combo. The secondary hall bath has tile floors, green laminate countertop­s and a large shower with two heads.

A huge play room with plush carpet is on the third floor and offers three large walk-in closets and access to a balcony that overlooks the landscaped backyard with a pool and cabana.

The fully gated pool has a slide and diving board, and the screened-in pool house includes two dressing rooms, a private water closet, an outdoor shower and a nostalgic black-andwhite awning.

There is also a covered two-car carport with outdoor storage and a water fountain, and access to an air-conditione­d workshop; and an additional parking pad with space for two cars.

With five or six bedrooms and 3½ baths, this home is priced at $1,250,000.
