This charming traditional Heights Bungalow sits gracefully on a rare triple lot, offering an expansive canvas of green space that immediately captured the hearts of Ellen and Paula Parker-Krantz. From the moment they laid eyes on this home, they saw beyond its classic façade to the incredible potential it held - not just as a living space, but as a personal sanctuary where gardening and outdoor enjoyment could flourish.

When they purchased the home in 2022, it was adorned with a few gorgeous, mature trees, three one hundred-year-old pecans, a dogwood, a maple and magnolia. A minimal sprinkling of azaleas, provided a natural frame for the home without overwhelming it. This subtle landscaping was perfect, leaving the structure and space open to Ellen and Paula's vision. They dreamed of crafting inviting garden areas and intimate outdoor retreats, both front and back, that would complement the bungalow's traditional charm while reflecting their personal style.

The yard has come to life over time and they have made some changes along the way. In front of the iron fence, they have planted mostly Texas Natives including salvias in pinks and blues, various lilies in yellows and reds, agapanthus, lantana, pentas, copper canyon daisies, spotted iron plants and phlox. In the front beds, they added azaleas, variegated ginger, ligularia, pink, lavender and white pentas, agapanthus, pink and white caladiums, night blooming jasmine, hostas, and loropetalum.

In May of 2024, sadly, the derecho took down the largest of the three pecan trees. Where the pecan tree once stood is now a new garden with dwarf wax myrtles, Texas natives and grasses.
