Overview

§ 01

Welcome to a home where space, flexibility, and thoughtful updates come together on 0.67-acre an unrestricted corner lot. This spacious one-story home offers approx 2,485 sq.ft. with 3 bedrooms/3 full baths, and the rare advantage of two primary suites—ideal for multigenerational living, extended family, and guests. Inside, you’ll find a comfortable, inviting floor plan. The updated kitchen and bathrooms add a fresh, modern feel, while hard-surface flooring throughout means no carpet to maintain. Generously sized living spaces provide room to gather, relax, and make the home your own. Outside, the expansive yard offers room to spread out, entertain, garden, add a workshop, and more. After a long day, unwind outdoors in the private hot tub. Major improvements provide additional peace of mind, including a roof and A/C that are approximately three years old. Come see just how much space—and possibility—this property has to offer.

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
