For Sale - Active
Units n/a

Tucked in Houston’s vibrant East End, this multi-family charmer is a dream come true for investors or savvy buyers ready to house hack their way to financial freedom. Up front, you’ve got a freshly updated main home that’s full of character. Out back, there’s a garage apartment—perfect for steady rental income, a private guest space, or even your own creative studio. Both units have been beautifully refreshed within the last 5 years, so you can spend more time collecting rent checks and less time on repairs. The best part? You’re just minutes from Downtown Houston—so tenants (or you!) will love being close to restaurants, bars, stadiums, and all the city buzz. Whether you’re expanding your portfolio or looking to let your home pay the bills, this East End gem is more than a property—it’s a smart move for your future.
