About This Home
A storybook setting in Houston’s Historic Third Ward, this rare dual-residence offering blends architectural charm with modern artistry. The front house, an American Foursquare-style brick home, offers 3 beds, 2.5 baths, pairing original details such as stained hardwoods, brick mantles, with timeless updates like quartz counters, mid-century lighting, and sleek stainless steel appliances. The rear home, with cement board siding, mirrors the same original charm and contemporary updates, offering 3 beds, 2 baths, a flexible first-floor office/bedroom, and a versatile upstairs landing perfect for studio work, reading nook, or home office. Both houses are leased. Just minutes from the University of Houston, Texas Southern University, and the Texas Medical Center, the location offers strong appeal for students, faculty, and medical professionals alike, making this not just a residence, but an inspired, income-producing investment.
