Property Description

Charming, updated Garden Oaks home on a huge lot in a prime central location with easy access to major highways for commuting in any direction. Walk to Whole Foods, local restaurants, and neighborhood bars while enjoying the character of this original home. Major updates include recent roof, and HVAC system with updated ductwork, and beautifully renovated bathrooms. The standout feature is the impressive 12-foot ceiling garage/workshop/apartment with epoxy floors, a full bathroom, kitchenette, multi-zone mini-split climate control, EV-ready 50-amp circuit, built-in cabinets, workbenches, storage lockers, and shelving—all included. The garage is framed for a future second-story addition, with non-load-bearing interior walls for flexible expansion and enough height for an automotive lift. The spacious backyard offers room for a pool, while ample parking makes entertaining family and friends a breeze.
