Just looking at photos of 7126 North Janmar Drive is enough to make you feel more peaceful. But of course, that was probably Frank Welch’s point. The late, award-winning Texas architect believed in unpretentious, well-proportioned homes that blend sophistication and warmth, and offered a unique and lovely take on modern Texas homes.
Situated on a pie-shaped lot in Jan Mar, a neighborhood marked by mid-century homes, creeks, and rolling hills, the 2015 home is one of the last designs by the “Dean of Texas architecture,” and offers a slew of enviable amenities in addition to its architectural worth. The master bath has a beautiful, branch-filled view and heated floors. There are electric shades and an elevator for ease. There’s also a cork-floored basement that could be transformed into a movie theater, a game room, or a solid spot for someone to practice the drums.
We’d be remiss in not mentioning a glassy, clean-lined pool and a stunning Bulthaup kitchen, but we do have to draw description line somewhere, especially when there are Welch-filled slideshows to get to.
