Houston: Brick 4BR in West U + Quarters +Summer Kitchen + A/C in Garage

October 10th, 2012


This Property Has Been Sold; Links are Disengaged
This four bedroom traditional brick home in West University is just loaded with desirable features that buyers want … both inside and outside.

Notable features inside are hardwoods with carved baseboards, multi-piece crown molding, multiple walls of 8’ divided light windows making it light and bright --- and a fireplace in the Master Bedroom.

Notable features outside are an oversized garage with a built-in workbench and air conditioning; ground-level quarters with full bath; lushly landscaped rear yard and a summer kitchen beneath stained-wood arbor with built-in granite island and stainless gas grill with 2 exterior gas burners.

Let’s peek at the curbside view that reveals large oak trees with branching canopies, a thick expanse of grassy lawn and landscaped planting beds with flagstone walkways curving around to both side yards with a lockable wrought iron driveway gate and arched pedestrian gate. The mosquito control system protects both the FRONT and rear yard (which is unusual, many properties just have this equipment in the rear outdoor areas).

LOVE the front entry! This gracious entryway features a one-of-a-kind entry door with beveled and leaded etched glass panels, twin divided light glass sidelights with plantation shutters and a wood-spoked fanlight transom overhead.

Hardwood floors with carved baseboards are throughout the downstairs in the Study/Library (12’ x 13’ 1), Living Room (16’ x 15’), Dining Room (12’ x 14’ 10”) and Family Room / Den (22’ x 24’). These rooms have other desirable features as well … like built-ins and tall divided light windows and a gas log fireplace in the Family Room.

Use the Amenities Text with its detailed room-by-room description of features and finishes as a guidebook to tour this property – that way you won’t miss a thing. Clicking any arrowhead in the floor plan launches the photo ---and the description for that area will appear beneath the photo .. but its all linked together so you can’t get lost.

The Kitchen features slab granite counters, a tiled backsplash and center kitchen island with breakfast bar seating on two sides. Review the Amenities Text for a full description of all the items in this feature-rich kitchen, including a built-in SubZero® refrigerator with pull-out bottom drawer freezer and GE® Monogram stainless steel 5-burner gas cooktop.

The Master Suite, and all bedrooms, are upstairs. Two secondary bedrooms share a bath between them and the 4th Bedroom has a private bath. 

The Master Suite is quite large. Just by looking at the drawn-to-scale floor plan you can see that roughly one-half of the floor space on the second floor is dedicated to the Master Suite consisting of the Master Bedroom w/built-ins on either side of the fireplace, two walk-in master closets and a large luxury bath.

While many properties in West U have quarters, most are on the second floor over the garage. 6615 Rutgers has ground-floor quarters with a bath, large walk-in closet and door to the landscaped yard.

The rear yard is enclosed with tall privacy fencing and is lushly landscaped with flowering shrubs, ornamental trees and vines trained to trellis; it also features both automatic sprinklers and a mosquito control system. The rear flagstone terrace is spacious enough for outdoor furniture and has a curving flagstone walkway to the Summer Kitchen.

The Summer Kitchen is beneath a stained-wood arbor, with two ceiling fans, covered with transparent panels that admit diffused sunlight, but also keep you high and dry in more inclement weather. The centerpiece of the Summer Kitchen is the built-in limestone block island with slab granite counter, under-counter stainless steel storage lockers and built-in stainless steel gas grill as well as two exterior gas burners.

West University is a very desirable neighborhood and homes in that area tend to sell quickly. Touring 6615 Rutgers is easy to do right here online --- but if you are interested in a property for sale in West University, you will want to come by and see it in person! Feel free to compare it to other homes in the area … just print out the Amenities Text and take it with you -- with this one, you just get “more”! More = air conditioned garage + summer kitchen under arbor + ground floor quarters with bath and more, more, more.

Thanks for stopping by!

====================

SMARTePLANS® have photos embedded inside the floor plan that launch with a mouse click .... each photo arrow is positioned in the plan where the photographer was standing --- so you can see where he was and what he was aiming at when he took the shot ... in relationship to the drawing. Beneath the photo is a description of that room. Once the photo launches you have a choice to link back to the floor plan and choose another photo, or read the amenities text for the WHOLE property (not just that particular room). All the files are inter-linked so you can seamlessly click around this property, viewing the photos and reading the descriptions. This is not a video ... you choose what you want to view ... or not

[NOTE: SMARTePLANS® are PDF files so they magnify to over 100%. When the file launches, click "View" on the top toolbar and make sure there is a checkmark next to the toolbar named "Select and Zoom". Every time you tap the plus key inside the circle the view screen enlarges (the minus key shrinks the magnification); and the magnifying glass with the plus sign in it marquee selects a specfic area of the drawings to be enlarged. Using the hand key and the scroll bars, its easy to move around inside the file, and then magnifying the features you want to see.]
