The perhaps semi-hackneyed and overused Realtor-speak “curb appeal” jargon seems woefully insufficient to describe this lovely Park Hill perch at 2420 Lofton Terrace.

Park Hill is one of the loveliest Near Southside neighborhoods, and this assiduously renovated gem is nothing short of enchanting. It’s difficult to imagine that this house, with its rich repertoire of materials, could be replicated today at even twice the asking price.

An asymmetrical, meandering stone stair ascends the bluff to the entrance. The listing describes the house as “Charleston” style and indeed there are classical elements drawn from the American Colonial idiom, such as the doubled square columns that support the lower and upper porches. The exterior combines simple siding with a substantial weathered edge and square stone masonry.

Nothing in the 2,100-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath is predictable or quite as it seems.

Take the modest square footage. The house appears larger and indeed grander. A small wood-paneled entry leads to an open space that runs the length of the 1948-built house. The striking floors are somewhat out of the ordinary — coffee-stained birds-eye maple — adding a warm refinement to the ambiance. The monotone wallpaper mural is a document depicting 1828 Charleston Harbor.

The semi-open floor plan offers an easy relaxed circulation from room to room free of hallways. The renovated chef’s kitchen is a dream, with updates from top to bottom. You get a commercial gas range, stainless appliances, a built-in microwave, a refrigerator, and a large walk-in pantry.

The upstairs landing funnels into the three bedrooms. A compact laundry of stack units is housed behind the double-doored closet.

The principal bedroom has French windows leading to the upstairs balcony. The attached bath has twin sinks, a bath, and a large shower stall. Rectangular marble and ceramic tiles are mounted vertically, which gives the bath an interesting twist.

Landscaping is impeccable front to back.

There is a small pool and dining pergola in the back garden. Also at back is a separate guest house with a 13-by-10 bedroom and another bath and closet not included in the square feet. Garage parking at back houses two spots.

Kirk McDonald with Compass Real Estate Texas has listed 2420 Lofton Terrace for $1.175 million.
