UPDATE: This is SOLD with 1 Day On Market / Links to SMARTePLAN and Amenities Text Have Been Disengaged

4428 Vivian is enviably located in the Southdale section of Bellaire, making it convenient and close to the Galleria and the Medical Center. Southdale also boasts not only “good” schools, but exemplary schools; lots of green space with five parks, a Nature Discovery Center and let’s not overlook a  network of biking and jogging trails. 

The tall 2-story entryway catches your eye right from the side walk with the driveway neatly bordered by bricks and the covered and lighted portico over the front entrance that stretches all the way across the garage – a convenient feature for loading and unloading the family vehicle.

What also catches your eye right away are the tall arched windows across the whole front of the house. You quickly find out these are in the formal Living Room, but tall ceilings and tall windows with plantation shutters are throughout the property making it very light and bright.

 Let’s open up the SMARTePLAN and take a closer look. Use the Amenities Text with its detailed room-by-room descriptions as a guidebook to tour the property.

The downstairs is thoughtfully planned for both easy living and gracious entertaining.

The Living Room (11’ 7” x 13’ 6”) has those gorgeous windows and tall ceiling we were talking about and it opens onto a gallery foyer with cased moldings and carved architectural pediments. The feature that catches your attention, however, is  a row of lighted and recessed art niches with glass display shelves. Sooo elegant and what a nice way to welcome guests into your home.  

The Dining Room (12’ 4” x 13’ 6”)  is formal in style with a cased archway entry from the foyer, gleaming hardwood floor and wall of tall windows with plantation shutters. The stand-out in this room is the dual-sided fireplace with carved wood mantel and marble tile hearth and surround.  The “other” side of the fireplace is in the Family Room (20’ x 16’) also with a hardwood floor and wall of tall (5’ 9”) seamless glass windows that overlooks the rear yard.

The large granite kitchen (15’ 10” x 9’ 6”) has updated stainless appliances and a built-in desk / kitchen office area and is adjacent to the Breakfast Room (10’ 7” x 10’ 8”) with its bay window alcove that overlooks the rear yard.

As you can see by the SMARTePLAN, all bedrooms are upstairs and are generously sized with sizable closets for each, along with plantation shutters throughout.

The professionally landscaped Rear Yard with grassy lawn, landscape lighting and automatic sprinkler system is enclosed with a tall wood privacy fence and has vines trained to trellis. An elevated wood deck has been custom created and features built-in corner seating and space for a gas grill,  as there is a natural gas connection plumbed at the deck --- no more switching out gas canisters for you!

So put this one on your list to see .. as the 4 bedroom brick home at 4428 Vivian in the Southdale area of Bellaire has plenty of room for family activities, plenty of upscale features for dining and entertaining and plenty of outdoor living space for grilling and relaxing. Review the floor plan online with its embedded photos and detailed linked amenities text --- or Come take a look in person --- whichever suits your schedule.

Thanks for stopping by!
