Home Details
This meticulously maintained, custom home in West U has been lovingly cared for by the original owners. The traditional 3-story, 4 bed/3.5 bath, brick residence has freshly painted rooms (8/25), a re-surfaced and re-tiled freshwater pool (9/24), and a finished garage apartment with an additional 479 sq. ft., a kitchen and a full bath. Timeless, refinished (6/25) wood floors are throughout the home. Other features include plantation shutters, a full-house Generac gas and water-cooled generator (replaced 9/24), an epoxied garage floor, annual exterior painting, high-end stainless-steel appliances including a Sub Zero fridge (9/24), and a refurbished primary shower (6/25). Bathroom sinks, faucets, HVACs, the hot water heater and the main water line were also replaced. The home is equipped with a re-circulating hot water system. The third floor is finished. Pool furniture and gorgeous chandeliers will remain with the home. Just steps to Rice Village and close to the West U amenities.
