Walk through
Located at 2205 Tangley St. within walking distance to Rice Village, this 2,965-square-foot cutie opens to a spacious, updated two-story residence inside. Built in 1938, the home's great room now boasts soaring ceilings while still maintaining its original allure with polished hardwood floors and fireplace with brick surround. Flanking the great room are the formal dining room and study. Vintage-style shutters bring in natural light to keep the home cheery and bright.
The remodeled kitchen is completely up-to-date with state-of-the-art appliances. A mix of granite and wooden counters add prep space and texture, while a farmhouse sink is period mindful. Custom cabinets and drawers offer tons of storage space. Across the breakfast bar is an informal dining room with a corner fireplace, the second in the house. The adjacent den seems to invite casual family time.
Up the staircase in the great room, there are three bedrooms, including the master suite, which fills the entire east wing of the home. Extras here include a large sitting area and sun-filled aerie, as well as a large master closet. Master bath highlights are a claw-foot tub, stall shower and dual sinks.
The two additional bedrooms, both with full en suite baths, make up the west wing and feature plenty of windows for views and hardwoods underfoot. A spiral staircase leads to a loft space.
Step outside
Double French doors in the breakfast room and den take you outside where a covered deck runs the full length of the back of the house. Minimal landscaping makes for easy upkeep, as does a stepping stone patio and courtyard. A two-car garage is detached.
