The Space:
Mornings here start slow, with coffee on the back patio while the street is still quiet. By evening, the backyard becomes the natural gathering place — string lights on, chairs pulled in, the day winding down together.
This is a single-level, 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home in West Houston, with four queen beds and comfortable shared spaces designed for groups and longer stays.
