Nestled in Houston’s coveted Energy Corridor, this elegantly updated 3-bed, 2.5-bath home offers 2,489 sq. ft. of refined living with an open layout connecting the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Fresh designer paint elevates major rooms, including the kitchen, office, and primary suite, creating a turnkey feel. Custom built-ins, hardwoods, raised-panel wainscoting, and two fireplaces—one in the living room and one in the serene primary suite—enhance the home’s character. The spa-inspired primary bath features a soaking tub and separate shower, while the guest suite showcases marble finishes and an Italian-marble vanity. Outdoors, manicured landscaping, mature trees, lighting, and a custom water feature add standout curb appeal. Major updates include roof (2025), attic rejuvenation (2024), Lennox HVAC, and electrical panel.
