TMC Rincon is approximately four miles away, and the Houghton/Rita Road area puts restaurants, shopping, professional services, doctors, dentists and everyday conveniences just minutes from home. Back at the house, the larger yard offers something increasingly hard to find: usable outdoor space with character. Mature pomelo (Asian grapefruit) and lemon trees provide established citrus, while the new wooden double gate on the south side gives convenient vehicle access to the backyard for projects, equipment and recreational gear. The yard offers plenty of room to garden, entertain, play--or simply enjoy having some breathing room. Inside, fresh paint and recently updated flooring give the home a clean, inviting feel. The kitchen has received some updates while retaining much of its original character, and the home has been well cared for with no need to undertake a major renovation simply to move in and enjoy it. Come see what you don't notice from the curb.
