Home Details
Owner renovated & extended this Houston Heights house (2020/2021) on an oversized (9975sf) lot in a prime location. The original house (~1200sf) was stripped to the studs & and (~1800 sf) added. The main house now has 3 beds, 2 ½ baths, open kitchen/den/breakfast-room, pantry, study, dining room, coffee bar, mud room, butler’s pantry & a 2nd sitting room. An oversized 2-car garage w/ 1 bed garage apartment (672 sf) includes a full kitchen, bath, internal staircase, w/d hook-up, ev charger, solar & battery back-up. The large lot provides privacy, natural light, lush mature landscaping & gated drive (additional parking). All systems (roof, electrics, plumbing, a/c etc.) are new 2020/2021 w/ owner input. House is energy efficient. The layout allows for multi-generation or WFH living. It is 2 blocks from the trail, close to 19th st. & the revamped N. Shepherd area. It is easy to get downtown & other places in the Greater Houston area. It is a contributing house in the Historic District.
