Home Details
Enjoy added energy resilience and peace of mind in the heart of the Heights. This solar-powered home features solar panels, battery backup, and an updated smart electrical panel, providing solar energy and backup capability while reducing reliance on the traditional electrical grid. The solar system is monitored and maintained through a third-party agreement that transfers with the property. Beyond its energy features, this one-owner Heights home offers exceptional value with natural light, first-floor living, a dedicated home office, and open-concept layout. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including an oversized primary suite with large bath and walk-in closet. A detached two-car garage is accessed from the rear alley, while the framed-out garage apartment offers potential as a future guest suite, office, gym, studio, or income-producing space. Lovingly maintained by its original owner, minutes from 19th Street, the Heights Hike & Bike Trail, Downtown, the Galleria, and major freeways.
