As my FAIA architect husband has long held, it’s much easier to tear down and start from scratch than it is to reimagine and transition an existing house into something more desirable. Rising to the challenge, Creekstone Architecture and RI Luxury Homes went the transformation route, turning a 1978 ranch style dwelling into a magnificent modern day residence in the Houston area’s Bunker Hill.
“This home embodies everything we stand for: craftsmanship, functional luxury and attention to every detail,” Eric Rowlen of RI Luxury Homes says. “We don’t just build homes. We create living works of art where families can truly unwind.
“Every project we take on is guided by the same standard of care and pride we’d expect for our own homes.”
That fab new home at 11606 Blalock Lane is listed with Nan & Company Properties for a cool $5.1 million.
For that handsome price the buyer will get the keys to the 7,435-square-foot residence rising on a spacious 20,011-square-foot lot in the heart of coveted Bunker Hill.
Interestingly, Nan & Company Properties agent Rose Spice, who has the listing, assisted Elizabeth Rowlen of Elizabeth Home Designs in the design selections. The luxurious and timeless designs are created with neutral palettes, soft color accents and warm white oak elements. The result is aesthetic blending clean lines and understated details that create a calm ambiance.

Rich elements include Venetian plaster walls soaring to 23-foot ceilings, Calacatta Paonazza marble flowing throughout the kitchen and living spaces, and custom white oak cabinetry and flooring which anchors the interiors.
“Every choice in this home was made to ensure it’s as functional as it is beautiful,” Spice says. “It’s a space where families can live comfortably while enjoying elevated design.”
The floor plan includes five bedrooms, one flex room, five full baths and two half baths. Bonus modernizations include a three-car garage with EV chargers, a scullery with second dishwasher and sink, outdoor kitchen with fireplace, pool, whole house dehumidifier, smart thermostats and more.
“From concept to completion, this home reflects thoughtful design, meticulous craftsmanship, and enduring style,” notes Nancy Almodovar, owner of Nan & Company Properties. “Collaborating on this project has been a joy, and we’re proud to present a residence that will serve its owners for generations to come.”
