Overview

§ 01

Offered for the first time! Step back in time with this charming mid-1920s home, lovingly owned by the same family since it was built. Situated on a BEAUTIFUL double corner lot shaded by mature oaks, this 3/4-bedroom home w/ study (or optional 4th bedrm) offers 2 baths, multiple living spaces, and timeless character throughout. Recently painted interior and exterior (2026). Gleaming hardwood floors, light-filled rooms, gorgeous wood built-ins, and a welcoming living room with a fireplace showcase the home’s craftsmanship. A 1950s kitchen and den addition blends vintage charm with added living space. Enjoy relaxing on the covered front porch, and appreciate the convenience of a detached 2-car garage and large storage room connected by a covered walkway. The oversized yard provides a lovely green space ready for gardening, a playscape, or perhaps a pool. Ideally located in the heart of La Grange, this is a rare opportunity to own a treasured piece of the town’s history.

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.
