About This Home

As of December 2020

Lovely brick 1930's bungalow in wonderful location in the coveted Mandell Place neighborhood. This home had an extensive renovation a little over a decade ago, but still maintains its Craftsman charm. Recently refreshed with refinished hardwood floors, new carpet, new paint, and a new HVAC condenser unit . Gorgeous chef's kitchen with granite counters, a large breakfast island, and custom cabinetry. Stainless steel appliances include a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a Viking 6-burner stove. Large Primary bedroom includes an ensuite bath, 2 walk-in closets, and a private door that leads onto the back deck that overlooks the pool. Separate utility room with mop sink. Mandell Place was named one of the city's most walkable neighborhoods with restaurants and shops nearby. The Menil Collection and Menil Park are just a few blocks away, an oasis of 30 acres of green space, galleries, and the museum. Easy access to both Downtown and The Medical center. See links for neighborhood information.
