Nestled on a HUGE nearly 3/4 acre lot in one of Houston's most unique & character-filled close-in neighborhoods, Garden Villas. This super-charming 1920's brick cottage offers not only the rare opportunity to get such a HUGE tree-shaded property in a bucolic setting & still be only about 9 miles from downtown, but also delivers the character only an older home can offer. The higher ceilings & original hardwood floors plus plenty of windows for great natural light. Vintage charm paired with many updates over the last few years including central AC, kit & bath & window updates. Huge additional storage bldg. Garden Villas was once dubbed a best hidden neighborhood by the Houston Press. Peacocks roam its parks and streets, the community has its own radio station. It's truly one of Houston's hidden gems! Quick access to downtown, the med center, major universities, the new world-class botanical gardens & Hobby Airport. Great investment property, starter home or for those downsizing.
