A 1942 Terrell Hills home has hit the market for just under $2.6 million, and the mention in its sales listing that it underwent a “full renovation” in 2021 may qualify as Understatement of the Year.
The property is owned by a married attorney and interior designer, according to property records — and its myriad artistic upgrades show the meticulous care of a designer at work. Portions of the four-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath were taken down to the studs, and a 500-square-foot addition was made to the property.
“All interior walls were refinished to a smooth, modern level-5 finish, and every major space was transformed with high-end material and thoughtful design,” the listing notes.
The upgrades are especially apparent in the kitchen, where a luxury La Cornue “Sully” range — valued at approximately $28,000, according to the listing — serves as the centerpiece. Soapstone countertops and elegant tile above the range top offer more eye candy.
Whimsical koi-pond wallpaper livens up one bathroom, and a hanging rattan chair offers a fun reading nook in the large living area with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the backyard pool and patio. A balcony nestled above the entryway offers a place to unwind and enjoy views of the neighborhood.
