THE HOME at 5123 Jackwood blends the charm of English provincial architecture with the comfort and convenience of contemporary planning and indoor-outdoor living.
The exterior is of brick and rough cedar boards and batts with a porch dominated by four hewn columns. The front is further distinguished by leaded glass casement windows.
A sunken living room gives the effect of being separated from the dining area, yet combines in a graceful expanse for entertainment purposes.
From the Terrazo tiled foyer, one steps into the relaxed and modern family room, paneled in Parana pine with an exposed beam ceiling and papered between the beams. Twelve-foot glass sliding doors open onto a concrete patio.
The three bedrooms are spacious and have large closets. The master bedroom has its own bath with dressing area and colored fixtures.
The kitchen has a built-in copper Tappan oven and range and a General Electric dishwasher and disposer. It opens into a paneled breakfast nook chair rail height with papered walls and ceiling. This joins the recreation. room, allowing the housewife to keep an eye on the youngsters.
The home is furnished by McDaniels Furniture Co. in French Provincial and Early American furnishings.
This model was built by Wayne L. Beckner of the Taylor Building Co. Mr. Beckner has lived in Houston 30 years. He has built in Willow Ben, Braeburn, Country Club Estates, Bellaire Oaks, Westridge and Sharpstown.
