Property Description

1218 Genova St. presents a rare opportunity to create value in the rapidly evolving Northside neighborhood. Ideal for investors, builders, or buyers with vision, this property offers flexibility for a variety of paths—whether as a long-term rental, renovation project, resale opportunity, or a clean slate for new construction. Situated on a well-located lot with easy access to major highways, Downtown Houston, The Heights, local dining, and entertainment, the location supports strong rental demand and long-term appreciation. The existing 1940s bungalow provides a solid foundation for renovation, showcasing the charm and craftsmanship that are increasingly hard to find in modern construction, while the lot itself offers excellent potential for a new build tailored to today’s market.
