Feast your eyes....

...on this Houston charmer.

Not much in our local area has gotten me excited this summer. But this Southampton home made me remember what that excited, house stalking conquest feeling is like.

The neighborhood, the street, and the outside of the home had my interests peaked.

It's listed for under $1 mil and is only 2,800 sq feet. I prefer smaller, more intimate homes and they are a rarity in Houston.

Let's pop on in and take a tour.

The formal living room is precious with built in bookshelves and nice windows. After reading Joni's recent post {here} on coffee tables, I have a new appreciation for unusual tables such as this one.
Simple but pretty dining room. Fantastic kitchen in all white. Whenever I spot a dairy slab (see the 'pure butter' reproduction in the left corner?), I typically love the interior design elements of the home.
I love this built in breakfast nook!
The sweet and simple powder bath.
This is the sun room, complete with wet bar area. This would be a great place for family game nights and entertaining small groups.
The comfy den. Whew~ and I thought we had a lot of wine!!!

The master bedroom with seating area.


Clean and chic master bath.
This children's room is just precious done in all white.
The child's bath upstairs.
The back patio is underneath a wisteria covered pergola.
The side courtyard feels secluded by the front hedges. I can envision a pretty table set up here for intimate dinner parties with the French doors opened up to the sun room. I can also envision sitting on the front porch at dusk in the cooler fall and winter months here in Houston.
Such a lovely Houston home! I'd add a few pieces of great artwork and more dining room chairs, but other than that I could move in tomorrow.
