About This Home

As of June 2025

Cute, cute, cute describes this 2005 (per HCAD) bungalow in up and coming Independence Heights! Plenty of new constructions going up surrounding this updated 3/2 home. Picture perfect with a front porch and swing to the back yard with firepit, deck, patio and recent fence. Location, location, location describes the ease of access to major thoroughfares, proximity to downtown and all the amenities the Heights has to offer at a fraction of the Heights prices. Move in condition and while ideal for an owner/occupant, there is no HOA or restrictions regarding investors, air BNB or short term rentals. Call your real estate professional today to see this fine home in a close-in, rapidly appreciating location!
