Overview

§ 01

A distinctive example of 1930s Art Deco architecture, this handsome brick structure offers timeless design, exceptional flexibility, and a rare dual-bldg opportunity in the heart of Montrose. Originally built as a duplex and later converted to a single-family residence, the main building is currently occupied for commercial use, with the ability to convert back to residential (buyer to verify). It offers 2,653 SF (HCAD) with adaptable space suitable for 7 office suites or 4-6 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. This property is being sold together with the adjacent 4610 Woodhead St., for a combined ~8,125 SF lot and ~5,011 SF of improved space. Built in 1998, the garage apartments include double two-car garages, one 3-bed/2-bath upper unit and one 1-bed/1-bath lower unit w/a study. Consistently 100% occupied and impeccably maintained over the years, the property benefits from strong rental demand and enduring architectural appeal in one of Houston's most dynamic and culturally rich neighborhoods.

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.
