Home Details
Meticulously maintained, New Orleans-style home in the heart of Houston Heights with timeless classic charm. Extensive improvements completed in 2026 include refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior wall and trim paint, kitchen and bath cabinetry. 2nd floor and garage apartment AC and condenser were replaced in 2025. Water heater was replaced in 2022. Fridge, range, and microwave were replaced in 2024. The open-concept kitchen overlooks the spacious family room and features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and a charming window seat in the breakfast area. All bedrooms are located upstairs, including the generous primary suite with a spa-inspired bath and private balcony. The low-maintenance backyard is designed for easy living with artificial turf, a sprinkler system. Alley-accessed two-car garage includes an approximately 400-square-foot garage apartment/flex space that's perfect as a fourth bedroom, home office, gym, or guest suite.
