Casablanca Houston: Little Ranch in the Big City

Free onsite parking

Parking on expansive driveway which is inside gated area.

Bedrooms all have curtains or shutters. Living areas do not. Skylights have electric shades.

When indoors, cannot hear neighbors (unless someone is mowing their lawn.) The property to the north of us is vacant woods. The property to the south of us has an easement. The neighbors on each side of us are on one acre each, so the population is not dense in our area. There is a manufacturing plant to the south of us that does create occasional noise (not above the level allowed by the City.) Noise from appliances or AC can be shut off. We are not on a busy street. Planes fly over on occasion (we are not on a main route for air traffic.)

Ground Floor

We have lots of driveway. No ramps needed. Main house is 4 inches above ground level. Pool house driveway ramps up to level of pool house. Loading trucks can remain on property.

bedrooms

Two circuit breakers in main house garage. Two circuit breakers in alley for pool house. Outlets EVERYWHERE inside and out:)
