About This Home

As of May 2021

Welcome to one of the loveliest blocks in the historic Houston Heights, close to all your 11th Street favorites, Heights Neighborhood Library, and the scenic Heights Boulevard Walking Trail. Historic charm meets modern day conveniences in this expanded 1920s 2-story home. Well maintained and beautifully updated with brand new stainless steel kitchen appliances, recently renovated baths, refinished original and reclaimed wood floors, double-paned windows, new HVAC, new water heater, and fresh interior paint. The oversized family room overlooks a spacious, fully fenced back yard and patio. Simply a fantastic home for entertaining—inside and out! With 4 bedrooms, an office, and even a nifty dog run along the side of the home, there’s plenty of space for the whole family here. Easy access to Downtown, you may even want to bike there.
