Description
Some homes have history. This one has a soul. Built in 1940, 2913 Wheeler Ave spent years as a boys home before undergoing a year-long restoration. Knob and tube wiring, cast iron pipes, failing plumbing—nearly every major system had reached the end of its life. Every system was rebuilt the right way, including a new sewer line, gas line, full plumbing, full electrical rewire, updated insulation, Low-E windows, and brand-new HVAC. All work was permitted and inspected under City of Houston permit #25050134. Documentation available upon request. What remains is something rare: a home with nearly a century of character and entirely new bones. The second floor features a bonus room with a window — easily a fourth bedroom with a closet added — plus a custom ghost barn door leading into the primary bathroom. Located in Houston’s desirable Washington Terrace, just minutes from the Texas Medical Center, the Museum District, and Downtown Houston. The history remains. The headaches don’t.
