About this property

Museum District Cottage on Historic Property with Charming Gardens

Charming Hamptons style shingled and brick cottage with patio and gardens sharing a large in town parcel with a historic Houston home. Private entrance to cottage that is near the major Houston museums, Rice University, Herman Park, the Medical Center and Montrose. The cottage is very comfortable in a relaxed, casual environment with a large upstairs sleeping open loft and a private second bedroom which share a full bath. A full kitchen and half bath are downstairs adjacent to a large open living room and dining area fill with books on wall to ceiling book selves. The cottage shares the large lawn and garden area with a 1920's historic Houston home but has its own entrance. The homeowners kept strict privacy for all guests and usually have several dogs on the property but they will be kept away as well unless guests wish to meet them. Papercity listed the cottage living room as one of the "Top 10 Rooms in Texas" at number 8!
