Hello BBBB Friends:
Wishing you a delightful Memorial Day Weekend! If you’re exploring open houses today, make sure to visit 1038 E 16th Street and say hello!
I’ve handpicked four new listings to showcase today. Additionally, I have several price reductions, new contracts, and final sales for homes that are Still on My List, so be sure to keep scrolling down!
EXPERIENCE THE TRUE NORTH PUBLIC ART EXHIBIT
This year marks the 10th Anniversary of True North, the public art installation on the Heights Boulevard esplanade. Eight unique sculptures are the work of distinguished Texas artists and are large enough to be seen by passing vehicles with intricate elements that can be enjoyed up close. The exhibition takes its name from the compass bearing of Heights Boulevard.
Did you know you can experience True North through a virtual audio tour? Take a leisurely stroll down the boulevard while listening to the artists discuss each sculpture’s inspiration. Accessible via the Otocast app, this immersive experience brings the art to life in a unique and engaging way. If you take a fancy to any of the art pieces, you may purchase one after the exhibition closes in December. Twenty percent of the sales price will go back into the budget to help fund future exhibitions.
Have a great week, and,
Let’s look at houses or talk about selling yours!
