Overview

§ 01

A rare Houston Heights landmark on an extraordinary 13,200-square-foot, oak-lined corner lot, this 1908 home with Craftsman influence pairs irreplaceable historic character with remarkable flexibility. Original wood floors, stained glass, Prairie-style windows, gracious porches, and light-filled rooms preserve its enduring soul, while the chef’s kitchen, multiple bedroom suites—including two primary retreats—pool and spa, and a separate ADA-accessible bungalow support modern living. Enjoy the Heights’ distinctive porch culture, neighborhood gatherings, and expansive outdoor spaces beneath a canopy of mature oaks. Conveniently located near Heights-area dining, retail, coffee shops, and nearby walking, jogging, and biking trails. Alley access leads to a converted three-car garage with flexible space above for an art studio, full gym, or other creative use—an exceptional urban estate where history, community, and everyday livability meet. Located just steps from Harvard Elementary.

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.
