Introducing 323 W 23rd St! This oversized double lot is supremely situated between Rutland & Ashland, and is just a 5 minute walk to the iconic shops & eateries along W. 19th St, the Nicholson walking trail, and even HEB! The entire property is enclosed with either wood or wrought iron fencing for your privacy & security.
Surrounded by mostly newer construction, including numerous $1M+ homes, this bungalow offers the best of both worlds -- old world charm and history, and modern day updates we all crave. Even at 113 years old, she more than holds her own against all the larger and newer homes she calls her neighbors.
BRAND NEW whole house paint (interior & exterior, even wrought iron fencing was repainted 2/'24). New mulch & flowers enhance the curb appeal of this adorable 1463 square foot bungalow!
Parking comes at a premium in the Heights, but this home can comfortably park 4 cars inside the gated perimeter, and additional cars in front of the house on the street! 
Greet guests here on your beautiful covered front porch! What a great spot to grab your favorite book & enjoy a beautiful day outside, or unwind at the end of the day with a glass of wine as you wave hello to your neighbors out for a stroll on the sidewalk-lined street.
Originally built in 1910, this home was recently remodeled to bring it into the 21st century, while still retaining so much of the old world charm, history & character.
Let's step inside and see what makes 323 W 23 so special, shall we?

Large primary bedroom can comfortably accommodate a king bed and other pieces of furniture. Again, note the gorgeous wood floors which were recently refinished & now gleam!

There is also this adorable shed which looks like a smaller version of the house in the backyard to house all of your patio furniture, yard equipment etc.
Alternate look at the backyard. Imagine all the cookouts and parties you could host here! Lights in the Heights parties, White Linen Night, and so much more.
