Property Description
Sitting pretty on professionally landscaped grounds, 1705 North Blvd. is a classic beauty designed by Hiram Salisbury who was one of the significant architects of the day. The home was originally built in 1935 by John Summerfield Bonner who was the first marketing Vice President of Humble Oil and Refining Co. The home was conceived as both an impressive resident of the Bonner family for large scale entertaining. The home has 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 half baths plus quarters over a 3 garage. The formals, library, converted sleeping porches and the kitchen all have incredible room proportions like the grand old homes of that era, plaster walls...the real deal. The current owners have lived in the home for 30 years and are only the second family to own 1705 North Blvd. Kirk Craig assisted in the kitchen renovation. Do not miss your chance to live on one of the most beautiful streets in all of Houston. All per Seller
