Step into The Gathering House, a home with a heart as big as Texas! This isn't your average cookie-cutter home; she's a lovingly decorated 1978 gem with stories to tell and all the space your crew (up to 12!) needs to create new ones. Imagine laughter echoing in the sprawling living areas perfect for heart-to-heart chats or sharing joyful meals (BBQ too) & memories around two dining areas. Ideally situated for work or play, you're close to major plants, I-10, hospitals, and all necessities!
The space
Yes, she's a classic, and we've lovingly decorated her for comfort and joy. Imagine laughter echoing in the sprawling living areas, perfect for those heart-to-heart chats, or sharing joyful meals and memories around two dining spots. Four cozy bedrooms promise sweet dreams: one features a King bed, two have queen beds, and the fourth includes two bunk beds. Need more space? The living room sofa pulls out into a full-size bed. You'll find two full bathrooms and two convenient half baths to comfortably accommodate everyone.
The spacious kitchen awaits your culinary adventures! It's equipped with a large main refrigerator perfect for big families (the smaller one is retired), and while she has two sinks, one is happily on duty and has always been plenty for a crowd (you'll see a little note on the one taking a rest).
We believe in honest charm, so you should know a couple of things: our sunroom is currently taking a little beauty rest (closed for repairs). And, like many homes with history, very rarely, a little reminder of a good Houston rain and moisture might appear as a small puddle in a corner of the living room. surprisingly it never happens during the rain. It’s a tiny, infrequent quirk that happens a few days after a lot of moisture and we’ve got it covered with clear instructions and special colorful towels nearby should you need them – she more than makes up for it with her abundant space and character!
Step outside to a large front yard and a private, fenced backyard perfect for outdoor fun and relaxation. While the address includes a separate, independent casita (garage unit) with its own access, only the driveway is shared, ensuring your complete privacy in the main house.
