Overview

§ 01

Modern design, abundant natural light, and thoughtful execution set this Cottage Grove residence apart. Spanning nearly 3,400 square feet, this three-story home offers 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths in a flexible layout, including a first-floor bedroom, office, and mudroom, plus a unique secondary office/workspace upstairs. A dramatic multi-level skylight anchors the home, flooding the interior with light and highlighting custom cabinetry, elevated finishes, and clean architectural lines throughout.

The open-concept second-floor living space is built for both entertaining and everyday life, seamlessly connecting the kitchen, dining, and living areas. The primary suite offers a true retreat, with dual walk-in closets and a spacious, well-appointed bath.

Rounding out the home are a private driveway, fenced yard, and attached two-car garage — a rare combination of design, functionality, and Inner Loop convenience, just steps from trails, parks, and dining. No HOA.

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.
