The Homes On The Tour:
720 E 24th Street
1928 Craftsmen
Owners Star & Jack Massing
We’ve always laughed saying that it’s business in the front and a party in the back. The house has a quintessential Heights Bungalow look from the front, but it’s very modern and minimal on the inside and tropical in the back.

1926 Craftsmen Bungalow
Owners Brett & Renee Zamore
“Modern Comfort” would be a good description. We love the historic charm of the bungalows in the Heights and adding a modern sense of simplicity to the interiors. We have maintained the historic exterior character of the bungalow with a modern addition at the back.

1910 Victorian/Colonial Revival
Owners Katie & Mike Beirne
We tried to design the style and floorplan to what the original home would have been, while adding a vibrant and artistic touch of color and style. We really love a mix of old and new!

1920 American Bungalow
Owners Jeff & Rachel Spalding
Our house is a remodeled bungalow with a modern flair. Our interior design style is a mid-century modern focus, with eclectic accents. We like to emphasize natural light and connect the indoor spaces to the outdoors. We prefer smaller homes that efficiently use space and don’t occupy an entire lot.

2019 Traditional Modern
Owners Kate & Adrian Wong
Organic warm modern style. Our home is inspired by our love of the natural world, our roots in the Hill Country, California, Colorado and West Texas as well as my background as a marine biologist. I am drawn to textures, patterns and colors found in organic forms. I wanted our home to be soulful and bring the outdoors in. The entire design was driven by the desire to create a u-shaped layout that would focus on and utilize as much green space as possible. Our home sits in harmony with the natural surroundings. Our back porch faces west to allow for the most natural light to flow into our main living spaces and primary bedroom. We consider ourselves lucky to live in our own piece of art.

1919 Prairie Style
The current owners’, immigrants from Kenya and India, created a warm family space influenced by Vastu Shastra (the ancient Indian system of architecture), their travels around the world and love of India and Bali. The 1919 home was originally built by a Swedish immigrant owner/architect on a lot owned solely by his wife, a rarity in that time. Over time the house evolved: a large addition in the back, a garage apartment, a third lot and a second garage and pool were added to create the space that welcomes family and friends today.
