Brick Home for Sale near 610 SW Loop, in older, quiet, shady neighborhood.  House is a 3/2/2 with a 2 car detached garage, it has a Living Room, formal Dining Room, large Den with GAS fireplace, breakfast area and a large indoor laundry room next to the kitchen.  Also, it has two equal sized master bedrooms, one with its own small master bath.  The hall bath is the larger bath with a deep tub.  Middle bedroom makes a nice office.  Bathrooms have original art deco tile bathrooms.   All rooms have ceiling fans.  Lots of off-street parking, and area for workbench in garage.  Flooring is hard tile and light colored Nylon Berber (except Den).  House had some updates in the 80s, so kitchen is not newly updated, however, this would be a great house to update and open up the den to the kitchen and/or laundry (which is larger than necessary).  Back exit door has dog door.  It has a nice U-shaped private patio, but fencing is old and falling down.   Nice landscaping plants in front and back, large oak in front yard.  Front porch is good for sitting to talk to friends and neighbors (has a ceiling fan).

 House is just minutes to the Medical Center, Greenway, Myerland Plaza, Galleria and is only 20 minutes to downtown (11 miles) (610 loop to 288 to I45).  Location is great to avoid long commutes.  Neighbors are nice, mostly medical center people and/or teachers and there is a community organization, but no home owners fees (we voted that down!!)

House has new TRANE A/C unit and newer insulation, R30+ insulation.  House is older, needs flooring in (none there now) the den/breakfast areas and needs pool cleaning & repairs.  Owner is willing to offer some reductions in price for a few repairs, or a cash back at closing to handle these expenses (Under a separate contract, if necessary).  Owner is looking for a quick sale, but will begin some indoor painting next week, and will interview contractors to begin cleaning pool, get pricing for adding new pool pump and doing minor pool repairs while waiting for a buyer.  The pool is large enough for laps and owner used it 9 months of the year for morning laps.  It gives good exercise without going to a gym.  Pool could be filled in, for someone not wanting a pool.  The pool/patio area can be like a small, private tropical paradise.

Call Alexandra 713-501-7565.  Owner will begin to show house in 2 weeks, or after painting and some small repairs are complete and pool is cleaned/repaired.  Call for details, or for URL to link to photos on web  and/or to get on waiting list for a private showing.  Will take more photos, when I get a new camera and more painting is completed.  If you drive by - please do not disturb us or bother the neighbors who each keep an eye out with our Neighborhood Watch program, and the neighborhood drive-by patrol.  Work is in progress, so expect that things are not up to snuff.  After owner does these specific repairs - house will be sold AS IS.
