About This Property
This is a rare opportunity to own the Timbergrove "unicorn"--a fully upgraded home on a premium lot with exceptional access to Houston's major corridors, offering something truly invaluable: peace of mind. In a city where flooding risk can define value, this property stands apart as it has never flooded, providing a level of security that is increasingly hard to find. Blending classic 1960s charm with thoughtful modern upgrades, this move-in-ready home has been enhanced for both comfort and long-term durability. Ideally positioned near the neighborhood exit, it offers convenient access while maintaining the character and appeal of this established community. Significant improvements include a radiant barrier roof with new decking, energy-efficient double-pane Gulf Coast windows, a new HVAC system, blown insulation, and a professionally installed drainage system with catch basins. Inside, the home features remodeled bathrooms with high-end Toto fixtures and Washlet, along with a chef's kitchen complete with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, hidden vent hood and a large walk in pantry. Elfa storage systems in the closets and garage maximize organization, while a Ring security system with motion lighting adds convenience and peace of mind. The outdoor space offers a private retreat with a 20x14 pergola-covered patio with fans, a fully fenced 7-foot privacy yard, sprinkler systems in both the front and backyard, and a mature, arborist-maintained signature tree that enhances curb appeal. The current layout also provides an opportunity to expand into a full primary suite with a walk-in closet and additional bath, creating immediate equity potential and long-term value. Located just minutes from Memorial Park, The Heights, and The Galleria, with quick access to 610, I-10, and 290, this home offers the perfect blend of location, upgrades, and investment opportunity--making it a truly exceptional find in Timbergrove.
