THE LEROY WALKER HOME at 5159 Jack- wood is a house literally built around the patio. A semi-modern design, it follows the indoor-outdoor living plan completely.
Constructed of Mexican brick and Western cedar with several glass walls opening onto the spacious patio, complete privacy is provided through several brick planters around the outer section of the patio.
Designed with an eye for children, the home has a large quarry tile gallery off the hall of the bedroom wing, ideal for play. The middle bedroom has folding doors onto the gallery, which in turn has glass sliding doors onto the patio.
The living room, dining room, kitchen and family room flow together in an open planning that makes for relaxed and comfortable living. All these rooms have glass sliding doors onto the patio.
The dining room is highlighted by a continental wallpaper scene on one wall and a Belgium Celestialite chandelier. The family room has built-in bookcases and the kitchen is paneled in a washed yellow tone.
The kitchen is all-electric with Hot Point built-in oven and range, dishwasher, disposer, refrigerator and deep freeze.
The home has air-conditioning, seven telephone outlets, including one in the patio, with phones to match room colors, double doors at the entrance way, indirect lighting on the patio, wrought iron entry gates and a two-car carport with three large storage closets.
The home designed by Crochet and Carroll is furnished in French modern by Suniland.
Mr. Walker has lived in Houston for 20 years. Before entering the building business seven years ago, he was a paint contractor. He has built in Meyerland, Gulfway Terrace and Baytown.
