Property details

About 8516 Contour Dr

Six months ago, this home was stuck in another era. Now? It’s a completely different story. The entire interior has been stripped down and rebuilt with a fresh, modern aesthetic—every wall repainted, every surface upgraded, every detail reconsidered. The outside still carries its original character, but step through the front door, and you’ll feel like you’ve entered a brand-new home. Let’s talk about what’s waiting for you. The kitchen is where it all comes together. It’s been remodeled with quartz counters, stainless appliances, and a flow that invites you in rather than making you work around it. Cooking here won’t feel like a chore—it’ll feel like a choice. Both bathrooms have been taken apart and put back together with a sharp, modern sensibility. Crisp tiling, striking fixtures, and a look that’s more “boutique hotel” than “builder basic.” Every room in the house, from the main living area to the four spacious bedrooms, has been refreshed with warm, wood-toned laminate flooring and a color palette that makes everything feel bright and inviting. And then there’s the bonus space—the separate, air-conditioned accessory unit. Maybe it’s your work-from-home escape, your creative studio, or a tucked-away spot for guests. Whatever you need, it’s ready. Set just off 183, this home puts you minutes from The Domain, Q2 Stadium, Top Golf, and all the low-key gems along North Lamar. Whether you're out exploring or just enjoying a quiet night in, you’re right where you want to be. This isn’t just an update—it’s a whole new perspective on what this house can be. It’s fresh, it’s ready, and the only thing missing is someone to make it their own.
