Transcript | A RAMI STYLED 'RUSTIC JIM WEST The parade home built by Jim West at 5103 Jackwood is a ranch style home with a rustic look from the outside and a spanking modern look from the inside. It is constructed of brick, boards and batts and cedar shakes and has a roof of cedar shingles. The entry leads to the living room on the right, to the den straight ahead and to the bedroom wing on the left. The kitchen is equipped with disposer, dishwasher and work counters. The den is paneled in knotty pine and opens through glass sliding doors onto the patio. Across the patio is a large two-car garage with double sectional overhead completely sealed in doors. The service room, lying between the garage and kitchen is equipped with Bendix washer and dryer. The master bedroom, facing the front of the house, has its own bath with dressing room. Both baths are of ceramic tile and have built-in vanitories. Other attractive features are Napko aluminum windows, Chrysler Airtemp air-conditioning, three telephone outlets with colored telephones, and complete landscaping. The house is furnished and draped in ranch style by Sud's Pine Ranch Furniture. Jim West is one of Houston's best known builders. He is a past president of the Houston Home Builders Association and is presently a member of the Board of Directors. He has built in Pine Valley, Denver Addition, Oak Meadows, Forest Oaks, and many other developments. Landscape Design by Ralph H. Cobb JIM WEST BUILDING CO., 226 Winkler Drive, 01-8503 ^se&t |
