MAKING MY WAY DOWN MONTROSE
Faces pass and you’re home bound to this exquisite townhouse. Built in 2000, this home was stripped down to the bones in 2009 and renovated with luxurious detail.
Inside the gourmet kitchen you’ll notice the custom built solid wood cabinets, track lighting and a limestone tiled kitchen island. Not to mention the sleek granite countertops, stainless steel appliances along with a wine fridge. However, the best part is the jaw-dropping seating area where you can enjoy your meals looking out of your 3 story window!
They say everything is bigger in Texas and you’ll believe it when you step inside the master suite. Finished with crown molding and plush carpet, this room is the house’s best kept secret. Why you ask? Walk outside to your terrace and you’ll be taken away by how beautiful Houston’s skyline is. The bathroom comes with a Jacuzzi tub, dual vanity sinks, a stand up shower and leads into the closet that’s big enough for all your needs and desires.
This corner unit features a new paint job, NEST thermostat, a private front yard and an attached garage. Believe me when I say this, you’ll never want to leave this house!
