About 3603 Rio Vista St

Incredible opportunity to build or remodel on a gorgeous ravine lot in Riverside Terrace that is just shy of one acre. The existing home is 3950 sq ft and features four bedrooms and 3.5 baths, formals, game room, den, study, and quarters located near the garage area. The property had a garage apartment located in the back of the land on the east side that has been demolished.

This property is 1/2 block away from MacGregor Bayou and has a picturesque and idyllic setting. Riverside Park is within walking distance and Hermann and MacGregor parks are nearby. The bayou trail leads to downtown, and this home is near UH, TSU, The Medical Center, and the Downtown area.
