About This Property
This charming and historic 1910 carriage house with its white picket fence and private landscaped courtyard in Montrose/Midtown is a stand-alone 2-story house of over 1000 sf. For decades, it has been great home for college professors and post-docs and for young opera-singing couples and symphony musicians, a few young lawyers, and others who appreciate more privacy and space than sterile apartment complexes offer. We'd love to attract another tenant from academia or the arts, but any interesting person may apply, and even downtown 9-5ers.
Management is by the easy-going easy-to-discuss-things-with next-door owner, not a hard to locate impersonal out-of-state management company or every-month-is-different 10-4 (with 2 hour lunch) super in an office three buildings away, who is going to fabricate some excuse to keep your deposit when you leave.
The downstairs includes the living room with its oak floors and a nice Persian area rug, built-in shelves and storage cabinets, the kitchen with all appliances, dining area, and a large walk-in closet. Upstairs, you'll have the huge Berber carpeted bedroom, the bathroom, a very large walk-in closet, a washer/dryer and a little office area.
Furnishings are included, but we can discuss removing them if you have your own. Presently, there is a queen size bed, chests of drawers, 2 desks and file cabinet, a leather couch, a futon couch/bed, dining table & chairs, kitchen utensils, dishes, etc.
The home has central air and heat. Tenant pays electricity and gas. Water and fast internet service are included. The owner will maintain the courtyard and all outside areas.
Our carriage house has its own address and its own street fronting. It is 2 blocks from a bus stop, 12 blocks from the Main/McGowan St. train station, 1 mile from downtown, 2 miles from Rice U., 3 miles from U. Houston, and 3 miles from the Med Center.
Please do not inquire about so-called corporate master sub-lease arrangements.
2925 Helena St is a house located in Harris County and the 77006 ZIP Code. This area is served by the Houston Independent School District attendance zone.
