4002 Overbrook Ln, Houston, TX 77027

Set behind a frosted glass and iron gate that opens into a hydrangea-splashed garden, 4002 Overbrook is an example of the International Style and was designed by the late Houston architect Reagan Miller. Clearly intended to impress, the front door opens from the garden portico into an entrance hall with a 19-foot ceiling. The home has an inverted layout: The first floor provides two bedrooms and a comfortable TV room/den. Take the elevator or wide staircase to the second floor with its formal living room, dining room, kitchen and office. This is the kind of home that would look smashing with either modern furniture or antiques, maybe some chinoiserie or a few primitive pieces included. The walled front garden, designed and installed by McDugald Steele, is a nod to the importance of creating inside-out views. Built in 2007(per HCAD), the home has had just one owner.
