1533 Harold Street, a Unique Treasure

Picture yourself taking a short walk to pick up fresh bread at Common Bond Bakery, or a bottle of wine at Montrose Cheese and Wine. Then, stroll across the expansive grounds of Menil Park, part of the Menil Museum campus. Spread your picnic and enjoy the rare tranquility found in an urban setting, as well as the outdoor sculptures spread throughout.

Become a regular at the neighborhood eateries, UB Preserve, Hugo’s and Rosie Cannonball. Enjoy living in a lush, quiet, established and family-friendly neighborhood within walking distance to some of Houston’s finest restaurants.

Experience such an atmosphere in this charming 1938 bungalow in highly desired Mandell Place. The rare historic “eyebrow” architectural feature graces a warm and welcoming entry.

Sunlight streams into the home through an enclosed porch…

…and through the French doors on the right, the adjacent home office…

The formal living room…

…and through these French doors, to a spacious formal dining room, which provides a phenomenal space for creating memories with family and friends.

The kitchen has abundant storage, double ovens (gas range and electric wall oven), with stainless steel recent appliances and generous space for the breakfast table.

The first floor full bath with tile work original to the home, and hallway built-ins adjacent, add character and extra storage. On the near right of the photo is a large separate tile shower.

The primary bedroom is extra large and includes two double closets and a single closet, as well. Beautiful oak hardwood floors are in most of the living areas and all the bedrooms.

Two bedrooms upstairs, plus a full bath, create space great for guests or children.

This driveway garden is dominated by highly productive tomato plants, but also gives up room for herbs and strawberry plants, a Houston perennial. In addition to this garden, the backyard garden space includes multiple types of peppers and four citrus trees.

An additional 960 square feet of garage workshop is not included in the listing. This space has had new HVAC and water heater installed, but has not been used by the current owners for living or rental space.

Recent updates to this home include a complete HVAC and ductwork replacement as well as a complete electrical update in 2017. New windows were installed in 2018 to the back portion of the home.

Full listing and photos are available on MLS# 20426449.

Picture yourself…home!

5 Fun Things to Do in Houston in the Summer

1. “The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe” is currently playing at the new theater for A.D. Players on Westheimer at Yorktown. Performances are in the morning, so children are encouraged to bring an adult and enjoy this play!

2. Volunteer at The Food Bank. Children 6 and older can work at the warehouse on Portwall, east of downtown Houston, and right off I-10. They have a huge, clean facility, and kind people who can help you learn your job. One adult for every 10 children is required for supervision.

3. Houston Museum of Natural History has an exhibit Mapping Texas from the Frontier to the Lone Star State, maps from 1530 to 1920! If that is not riveting enough for you, try Gladiators: Heroes of the Colosseum. You can easily spend a whole day in this museum; there is a place to eat lunch at McDonald’s and don’t forget to see the Planetarium and the Butterfly Center!

4. At the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, check out the Summer Art Exploring on Thursdays this summer. There is a new medium to explore every week (for ages 3-12). It’s free and so is museum admission on Thursdays, always! Did you ever wish you could see an old movie again, but in a theater? The museum shows some amazing old favorites and some surely to be new to you, too. Check out the current schedule.

5. Miller Outdoor Theater in Hermann Park is always free! And after the sun goes down and the breeze kicks in, there is no place more fun than the hill for a picnic while you watch an amazing performance! Shakespeare, The Village People, Houston Symphony, “Pippen” produced by Theater Under the Stars…you can easily find an event that stirs your culture taste every week of the summer months!

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to walk over to Miller Outdoor Theater, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Natural History Museum? I can help you find a home in this neighborhood, as well as the Galleria neighborhood where A.D. Players perform! I can also sell your home in these areas.
