Contempora­ry Museum District home showcases open design

- By Lisa Zapalac

A private courtyard entry leads to this contempora­ry-style new constructi­on by On Point Custom Homes in the Rice/Museum District area.

Listing agent Leah Leggett with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServic­es Anderson Properties says the home has an open concept floor plan that is ideal for everyday living and entertaini­ng.

The two-story home at 1737 Banks features polished concrete floors, an abundance of natural light and more than 4,200 square feet of living space.

Opening to a front courtyard, the spacious study has room for a work space and sitting area. The formal dining room has views of the back yard via a bank of windows.

The kitchen, which Leggett refers to as the heart of the home, is open to a living area and offers quartz countertop­s, Thermador appliances including a Thermador sixburner range with griddle and double ovens, customdesi­gned cabinets, and a large L-shaped island that includes breakfast bar seating.

Surrounded by expansive windows and views of the backyard, the living area has oversized slidinggla­ss doors that open to the covered veranda, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors and a great flow for entertaini­ng.

Upstairs are all of the home’s bedrooms and a large game room that has a dry bar with a beverage center.

A gallery hallway leads to the private master retreat with a private, separate sitting area, hardwood floors, prewiring for surround sound and a floorto-ceiling stone fireplace.

The master bathroom is spa-like in its design and features a double vanity, quartz countertop­s, a huge closet, and a large wet area with a freestandi­ng soaking tub and separate shower.

Additional highlights in the home include an elevator shaft and second-floor utility room.

Outside, the covered veranda is a versatile and inviting living/entertaini­ng area that includes a stone fireplace, and pre-wiring for sound and a television.

With a total of four bedrooms and 3½ baths, this home is priced at $1,650,000.
