Property Description
Surrounded by newly built homes in the area, this exceptionally 10,140 SqFt lot offers a rare opportunity to create your ideal home and outdoor oasis. Imagine the possibilities: a custom-built home while leaving plenty of open yard space. Garden Oaks is known for its spacious lots, close-knit community, and unbeatable location, just minutes from downtown and major freeways. This home still has a lot of life left in it with recent roof shingles, turbines, vents, and an AC replaced within the last 2-3 years. Great for holding as a rental while making plans to build.
