Tucked away within the lush, manicured grounds of River Oaks Gardens, this 1-1 residence offers a sophisticated retreat in one of the city’s most vibrant districts. The gated enclave is defined by its verdant landscaping and a sense of calm that feels worlds away from the urban bustle. It is just a short walk from the iconic River Oaks Theatre and an array of premier dining and boutique shopping destinations.
Inside, the home is polished and prepared for its next chapter. The living room flows effortlessly from the kitchen and dining area out to a private rear patio—a perfect spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation in the fresh air. With an assigned parking space and a location that puts the Galleria, Downtown, and the Medical Center within easy reach, the logistics of city living are handled with ease. And you'll be staying cool in a new AC (2025) and a private pool. It’s a rare opportunity in an unbeatable central location.
