5146 Jackwood Street Houston 77096

Built by W. K. "Buck" King and designed by Burdette Keeland, this mid-century modern home, was built as a display house for the 1955 Parade of Homes, an annual production put on by the Houston Home Builders Association to showcase the `best` that local contractors had to offer. The entire home is built around the patio. The plan is U-shaped w/ the patio in the center and all areas of the house opening onto it. The unique floor plan includes a living room, family room and kitchen, three bedrooms, two baths, storage room, two-car carport with an adjacent air conditioned flex room and large patio. The exterior walls of the bedrooms are floor to ceiling glass with sliding doors. The current owners expanded the home and purchased the adjacent lots on either side of the home and have added beautiful landscaping and lighting. The home sits on a 16,856 sq ft lot and the adjacent 8541 sq ft lot (5150 Jackwood) can be purchased separately. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history!
