Cottage Grove · Houston 77007
A freestanding, gated corner home with a new roof, new HVAC, new water heater, upgraded electrical service and panel, premium garage door, and a remodeled backyard. One mile from Memorial Park.
2716 Sherwin Street, Houston, Texas 77007
The Home
Some homes ask you to imagine the work. This one hands you the receipts. Within the last two years the owners installed a complete new roof, a new HVAC system, a new water heater, a premium garage door, and upgraded the electrical service that feeds the home from its underground supply, including substantial panel improvements. They remodeled the backyard, then repainted the entire home in 2026. What is left is the good part: living here.
The home stands on a corner at the quiet north end of Sherwin Street, one of roughly a dozen freestanding residences behind the gates of a small Cottage Grove enclave built in 2006. HOA-maintained greenspace wraps the front and side, so the windows look at green instead of a shared wall. Inside, per the prior MLS record, 2,704 square feet across three stories: a sunken living room with fireplace, soaring ceilings, granite kitchen and breakfast room bright with corner light, formal dining, wood floors, and marble in the entry and primary bath.
