The view of 5007 Happy Hollow from the street doesn't tell one much! Privacy is rare in urban Houston neighborhoods, but this unique floorplan and the home's placement on this enormous lot created a secluded wonderland of space, inside and outside. The 3 window walls which give this mid-mod home such character do not face the street nor are they visible to neighbors.
This outstanding oversized cul de sac lot delivers with green grass, mature trees and no muss, no fuss landscaping.
