Houston, TX (PressExposure) September 18, 2010 -- A craftsman style home is highly sought after, even today. Their appeal of welcoming front porches with sturdy columns and simple bungalow style have lasted for over a hundred years. But renovating a true Craftsman can be a money pit to say the least. Small closets, closed floor plans, out of date bathrooms and ancient wiring and plumbing can all be cost prohibitive obstacles.
One Houston custom home builder has come up with the solution. A modern home on the inside that still captures the flavor of the craftsman style home on the outside. Whitestone Builders specialize in designing homes with a flair for the past that meet the needs of today. The classic bones are still there, but the facelift makes their homes modern and appealing.
The Houston custom home in this distinct craftsman style, available in the prestigious Houston Heights, is almost 2900 square feet and boasts three bedrooms, 2.5 baths and antique hardwood floors. It is one story in front, and two story in the back, with custom cabinets and high ceilings. The classic craftsman roof line and bungalow style is evident in the expansive front porch nestled under substantial columns and railings. The clapboard siding and small front gable are typical of this homey, yet simplistic style. But inside, Whitestone Builders address are all the amenities today's home buyers desire.
Their website states: "Whitestone's principals have a passion for melding classical architectural design with the latest construction and technological innovations. the result of their passion and commitment is immediately felt upon entering a Whitestone home."
