Property Description
This is an amazing, free standing, single family home located in the Third Ward within walking distance of the University of Houston and Light Rail. It is a rare find in this rapidly changing neighborhood surrounded by new construction. This could be a great starter home, a value performing rental, or the perfect place to call home while you plan your next step on this 5,000 sq. ft. lot. The home backs up onto a green space zone owned by the City of Houston which buffers right up to Elgin, providing additional privacy on the back side of the lot. The seller has meticulously upgraded the home with new flooring, countertops, tile, fresh paint, cabinets, sinks, etc. - just to name a few. You are pleasantly surprised as you step inside and notice the attention to renovation details. The home is super clean, fresh and bright. A carport, storage shed and fully fenced yard add to its many "wow" features that are almost impossible to find at this price so close to the University of Houston.
