The Story
Back when Abby Luskie and her husband, Clayton, first saw this Houston home, they knew it was meant to be … sort of. “The windows were rotting, the kitchen was awkwardly laid out and the ‘updated’ finishes done by the previous homeowners were straight out of the ’90s,” she says. “My parents are veteran fixer-uppers, so I grew up around that. But at 121 years old, this was the most ancient house I’d come across!” The interior had clean, simple, Craftsman-style lines, embraced in the early 1900s as a rejection of Victorian ornateness.
