Hello BBBB Friends:
Spring break kicks off this week for most Houston schools, and daylight savings time starts today—giving vacationers and those of us still at home 😎 an extra hour of daylight to enjoy. Sure, we lose an hour of sleep, but I’d be crushed if daylight savings time ever disappeared. Longer evenings just make everything better—especially when it comes to house hunting. More daylight means more time to explore, and let’s be honest, everything looks better in natural light.
Now, let’s take a look at this week’s standout homes—then scroll down to see the latest price changes, new contracts, and final sales for homes that are Still on My List. There are plenty of new option pending and final sales to check out!
Have a good week and,
Let’s look at houses or talk about selling yours!

This 1.5-story bungalow offers flexible space with a twist—the upper half-story provides a height-restricted area that can serve as a third bedroom, office, or creative space. Fun fact: while functional, this type of space is typically valued lower per square foot in an appraisal compared to a full-height story.

931 Euclid: $925,000
- Woodland Heights
- Brick bungalow, c. 1920
- 3/2, 1,580 sq ft home on a 5,000 sq ft lot

- Recent renovation

- Curbed street
- Travis Elementary School
This charming bungalow is unique with a brick exterior that leans more toward Queen Anne than Craftsman. Inside, though, the built-ins with tapered columns stay true to the Craftsman details that defined the era—they’re not original, but they had me fooled. The screened-in back porch—always a personal favorite—offers a perfect spot to enjoy the outdoors without the bugs.

From the street, this bungalow looks like a modest bungalow, but step inside and you’ll see it’s had a serious transformation—going from underdog to heavyweight with a 2019 expansion that more than tripled its original size.

501 Highland: $1,795,000
- Woodland Heights Historic District
- Craftsman, c. 1920
- 3/3/2, 3,340 sq ft home on a 5,000 sq ft lot

- Travis Elementary School
With a blend of Craftsman meets Prairie style, this home oozes curb appeal with a beautifully landscaped, fenced front yard. While stucco is common today, it was far less so in the early 20th century—but when it was used, it was built to last—case in point: the many stunning stucco homes in Galveston that have stood the test of time.

716 E 10th St: $2,450,000
- Houston Heights
- French Colonial, c. 2021 by Aspire Fine Homes
- 4/3/1, 4,107 sq ft home on a 6,250 sq ft lot
- 11-foot ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and designer lighting throughout
- Paneled home office/study

- First-floor primary suite with tray ceiling and enviable walk-in closet
- Covered back patio leads to attached “pavilion”
- Whole-home Generac generator
- Alley access to attached 2-car garage
- Double front parking pad
- Harvard Elementary School
With so many stunning features, it’s hard to pick just one to geek out over—but if I had to, it’d be the front porch. Floor-to-ceiling divided-light windows with operational shutters, a double divided-light glass door, and even a coffered ceiling make it a showstopper. Add in the double dormers; this home is gorgeous—especially when lit at night.
