1629 Harold St, Houston, TX 77006

This local landmark home has been continually upgraded, always towards a certain New Orleans flavor of gracious living. Most recent additions include a just completed 2 car garage w/ apartment above + landscaping revamp (deck, lighting, turf) to make the back yard as welcoming as the classic front porch. Modern kitchen w/ butler's pantry for storage & utility, both formals, plus primary suite, as well as the den and an office/sunroom on 1st floor. Second floor has 2 bedrooms, full bath, + a 2nd work space. Notable architectural detail in millwork, windows, brick, original hardwoods. And the new apartment is a dreamy treehouse with kitchen & bath. The variety of common areas makes for both comfortable family life & spectacular entertaining. All this on prime interior block of Mandell Place. If you drew a circle around Common Bond, Hugo's, the Menil & HEB, this home would be right in the center- not just most walkable but best walkable. A favorite house in a favored location
