2311 Swift is located in the very desirable Rice / Medical Center location, just a stone’s throw from West University which makes its’ inside the Loop location close to the Zoo and Museums, close to the Medical Center, and close to the Galleria.
Recently remodeled with taste and style, this home is well worth your time to see. The Kitchen was taken down to the studs in 2008* and rebuilt by Lone Star Remodeling1 with exquisite craftsmanship, attention to detail and premium materials. Premium materials? Yes, like Bianco Arabescato* natural stoneware counters, sleek glazed subway tile backsplash, custom cabinetry with under-counter pull-out shelves and upper level glass-faces and let’s not forget top of the line stainless appliances with names you respect….. like Viking, GE, and KitchenAid.
Just take a look at the Kitchen Photo! …and No! … your eyes are not deceiving you --- there is “more” here than in other homes on the market. Open up the Amenities Text and read the very detailed description of all the premium features in this “I-must-have-it” Kitchen! Compare it to other homes and you quickly see that with this property you just get “more”. Yup! This light and bright Kitchen with veined white stone counters and “new” stainless appliances (as of 2008) is one you want to put on the top of your short list.
Let’s open up the SMARTePLAN so you can inspect the whole property; the embedded photos inside SMARTePLAN’s floor plan give you the photographer’s perspective of each room. Click on the blue arrowheads to launch each photo and then magnify your screen so you can scrutinize every detail.
While the kitchen was recently totally remodeled, one “older” feature they took care to retain in the rest of the house are the hardwood floors, many of which are original to the house. In fact original hardwoods grace the Formal Living Room and Formal Dining Room. The blend of “old” and “new” in these rooms is one of confidence and under-stated elegance accented by lighting fixtures artfully selected from Restoration Hardware*
The Family Room has a wood burning and gas fireplace with marble hearth and surround and also boasts a newly installed (2008*) slab granite wet bar. Again, a very nice blend of old and new in this room with the marble fireplace and dramatic divided light bow window overlooking the rear yard --- nicely updated by an installed surround-sound system and a modern wall-mount for a flat screen TV over the mantel.
In this property, all bedrooms are upstairs. The two secondary bedrooms (11’ x 11’ and 13’ x 10’) are both a good size and along with the rest of the second floor have hardwood floors original to the house. Just by looking at the true-to-scale SMARTePLAN you can see the updated Master Suite takes up nearly one-half of the space on the second floor --- with a luxurious travertine tiled Master Bath with Jacuzzi. And did you get a look at that Master Closet (17’ x 7’)? Custom built of white maple cabinetry* and carefully configured with adjustable organizational components to maximize the use of every inch of space. NICE!
Outdoor space is equally important in Houston and this property does not disappoint. The rear of the home has an extended flagstone terrace and what I consider to be a VERY LARGE fenced rear yard with grassy lawn (Est. 69’ x 35’).
So put 2311 Swift on your list to see. This 2-Story 3 bedroom brick Home in the Rice / Medical Center area was recently remodeled with new appliances, premium finishes and upgraded features and is just waiting for the new family looking for “more” in their next home.
