At the rear of the home, a back porch was added that runs the entire length of the house. The porch canopy has a cut-out to allow the existing crepe myrtle tree to stay in its original location.

Stepping inside, the main living areas have an open concept floor plan. Sliding doors create an indoor/outdoor living experience, which is perfect for taking advantage of the warm Texas weather. In the kitchen, white cabinets are paired with a large island that features a wood counter. Beside the kitchen is a wood accent wall that’s home to the television and floating cabinet.
