Will You Give Our House a Home?
Yes, we are selling our home. This beautiful three / four bedroom custom home is located on two acres about thirty miles south of downtown Houston, Texas. My wife and I built the house by subcontracting out the work and doing some of it ourselves. Now, with a job position in another state, we are looking for someone that would enjoy and appreciate the house as much as we have.
There are many custom features in the house such as travertine floors, laminate wood floors in the dining room and study, a slate fireplace and lots of built in cabinetry. Silestone countertops grace the kitchen and master bath and there is some great trim and molding work.
But, the home is not just fancy trim and countertops. We paid a lot of attention to what went on behind the walls and under the floor. The home sits on a 4 inch minimum thickness slab the has two foot minimum thickness grade beams crisscrossing the entire foundation. Then the entire foundation rests on top of 49 bell-bottom piers. The slab was custom engineered for this particular site. The house also meets windstorm requirements with hurricane strapping and beefed up bracing. Modifications were made to the floor plan to account for high winds. Two 1/2 plywood sheer walls are located inside the house and the garage ceiling is plywood to help withstand high winds. In addition, the exterior of the home is sheathed in plywood for extra bracing instead of the foam insulation board that is so often used. To top it all off, the roof shingles are rated to withstand 105 mph winds.
To help with energy efficiency we installed low-e double-pane windows, and Tech-shield reflective roof decking. Every wall, exterior and interior is insulated with blown-in cellulose fiber insulation (no fiberglass). The thought behind so much travertine on the floors was to help keep the home cool during hot Houston summers
Where is it? Satellite image on google maps. The house is at the north end of the cul-de-sac in the center of the picture. For reference, the driveway is 200 feet from the street to the front of the house. There is a 100 acre lake to the south-east. The tree line to the north harbors Oyster Creek.
