About This Property

The "Bridge House" is a truly unique and beautifully designed home nestled in Garden Villas, one of Houston's best-kept secrets. It offers a peaceful, retreat-like atmosphere less than 15 minutes from downtown.

Sitting on over half an acre, this tastefully renovated home is surrounded by mature trees, including peach, fig, and pecan, creating a peaceful, park-like setting. The house is set toward the back of the lot for added privacy, with a (2023 built) footbridge leading to the entrance.

Inside, you'll find a modern kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open layout that flows into the bright living area. Double sliding glass doors open to an oversized custom deck, perfect for entertaining or relaxing in your lush backyard.

The home has been updated to meet current building codes while preserving its timeless charm. Just minutes from downtown and Hobby Airport, this is a rare opportunity to own a private retreat in a vibrant, green neighborhood.
