Exposed ceiling beams, duct work, and masonry brick run throughout the house. The exposed utilities not only create a specific look but also make it easier to maintain the heating, electrical, and plumbing.<\/p>\n<p>The concrete floors and natural wood finishes match the industrial look, and the house has very little decoration.<\/p>\n<p>The most significant focal point is the two-story bookshelf. Filled with hundreds of colorful art and architectural books, these shelves are the star of the home.<\/p>\n<p>Though this house is 1,653 square feet, it only features one bedroom, which is in the loft. The primary purpose of the home is to act as a library.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The loft bedroom has an attached bathroom. The first floor features the living space and kitchen. There\u2019s also a second bathroom and laundry room in the utility wing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span class=\"afd-specs__key\">Photographs:<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/leonidfurmansky.com\/\"><span class=\"afd-specs__value\">Leonid Furmansky<\/span><\/a><span class=\"afd-specs__value\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedit.com\/this-texas-home-is-every-book-lovers-dream\/\">This Texas Home is Every Book Lover\u2019s Dream<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedit.com\">Homedit<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If a two-story bookshelf sounds like something from your dream home, you&#8217;ll want to check out this Texas residence.
