Tom Herman let Houston down. Tom Herman’s biggest letdown is his defense. Tom Herman beat Oklahoma — let him live. Just a few talking points for a new owner to draw up when hosting watch parties at the University of Texas football coach’s former home, which is now for sale in a tony Bellaire neighborhood.
Herman’s former dwelling on 5221 Pine St. is nestled in Bellaire’s sought-after Braeburn Country Club Estates. The white brick, traditional 2004 Bellaire Showcase home, offered by John Daugherty, Realtors for $2.045 million, was remodeled in 2016 after Herman sold it and sits on an 18,900-square-foot lot.
Herman purchased the home in 2015, updated it, and sold it in June 2017; it was barely on the market for a month. The next owners repainted the exterior (from red brick), interior, and added extra amenities. The home has only been on the market since mid-October.
“This home offers one of the larger lots in Bellaire,” says Lisa Kornhauser of John Daugherty, Realtors. “Interest has been great in this short amount of time. With its premiere location, the oversized lot, and unique amenities, this won’t last long on the market. It shows beautifully.”
The house boasts five bedrooms (with first-floor master), a two-story living room, a large library, and spacious dining room, according to the listing. “The oversized study with a sitting area, along with a formal dining connected to a formal living room, allows for wonderful entertaining areas,” notes Kornhauser. A second-story “flex” room offers a chance for a fitness center.

Isaac Paredes hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the seventh inning after Christian Walker's two-run homer in the sixth tied it up, leading the Houston Astros to a 3-2 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night.

Paredes hit a bloop single to short center field with two outs off San Diego’s Jeremiah Estrada (0-1), who had allowed two hits in 10 1/3 innings before Saturday.
Walker, who was moved out of the cleanup spot for the first time after batting .159 through the first 19 games, homered on a 1-0 sweeper from Michael King with two outs, his second of the season.
Bryan Abreu worked a scoreless eighth inning and Josh Hader, on his bobblehead giveaway night, pitched a scoreless ninth and got former Padres teammate Yuli Gurriel to fly out to end the game. Tayler Scott (1-1) worked two innings of relief and earned the win.
Fernando Tatis Jr. hit his seventh homer of the season in the third inning. Manny Machado helped add to an early lead when he followed a Tatis single and stolen base with an RBI double in the fifth inning for the Padres, who lost back-to-back games for the second time this season.
Outfielder Tirso Ornelas, who signed with the Padres in 2016, made his major league debut. The 25-year-old Ornelas was called up from Triple-A El Paso where he was hitting .281. His journey to Houston was almost as trying as his climb to the big leagues. He had two flights canceled, delaying his arrival, and was inserted as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and flied out.
