Looking for an oversized lot with first-floor living at an affordable price in the Heights, Houston's most sought-after close-in neighborhood? Zoned to prestigious Field Elementary School, this gorgeous property boasts bonuses galore: oversized yard, garage apartment, balcony off the master, covered front and back porches, pier-and-beam foundation, extra off-street parking, and solar panels!
Just minutes from downtown Houston, this rare gem of a property features a huge private green space that's not listed in the lot size or taxed to owners (because it's a utility easement), but for which the owners enjoy private access for entertaining, play, and relaxation. In addition to the green space protecting natural light and privacy, a private alley grants access to the detached garage and full studio garage apartment above. Note the solar panels on the roof!
Entering through the elevated covered front porch off the private graveled off-street parking, a contemporary yet formal entry invites family and friends to retreat from the hustle and bustle of this lively neighborhood. Sit back on the porch and unwind or view the comings and goings from the wall of huge windows in the family room beyond.
