Why we have a crush on this property:

If you automatically think of McMansions with all-white interiors whenever you hear “new construction” — think again. Situated in southeastern Texas, this single-family home built in 2022 doesn’t have a plain builder’s white surface in sight.

The entire home subs hardwood floors for Saltillo tiles sourced from Mexico, which sets a warm, terracotta-colored foundation for the rest of the interior. In the living room, exposed wood beams adorn the ceiling and an understated antique milk glass light fixture hangs from the center. That room flows into the kitchen, where an eclectic mix of tones and textures — from gray-and-white walls to leathered marble counters — make the space feel like it’s aged gracefully through several iterations, despite its pristine condition.

The four bedrooms and bathrooms include eye-catching details like a rounded doorway, unique light, or antique fixture, which all make the home feel full of character.

Outside, in addition to the patio and cute carport, the property also boasts an independent casita, complete with a kitchenette and full bath — perfect for guests, or for taking a mini vacation whenever you need one.
