Set on a wide, sidewalk-lined street in the heart of the Heights, this charming 1940s bungalow is just steps from the Heights Hike & Bike Trail, neighborhood favorites like Loro and Sofia, and local shops. Inside, hardwood floors carry the home's original charm into a spacious island kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a pantry. A dedicated utility room and generous storage make everyday living easier. Both bedrooms are comfortably sized with ample closet space, a welcome find in a Heights bungalow. The bathroom features marble countertops and double sinks, with plenty of room to get ready.
Outside, there's room to unwind in the spacious backyard after a bike ride on the trail, plus a two-car garage. The lease also includes a separate garage apartment with its own full kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Short-term rental use of the garage apartment may be considered with written landlord approval and valid City of Houston short-term rental registration.
Houston Heights West Historic District, located between Heights Boulevard and Yale Street, is a historic and walkable Houston neighborhood with bungalow-lined streets and a leafy boulevard spine. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around 19th Street at Heights Boulevard, where patios, coffee counters, and small storefronts set a steady street-level hum. Architectural details lean Craftsman and early-20th-century porch culture, with deep setbacks and mature trees. White Oak Bayou trails and pocket parks shape a bike-and-stroll routine. Local pillars such as Heights Mercantile, the Heights Theater, and Onion Creek anchor the district’s everyday rhythm.
