From the listing brokerage.
Elm Tree Cottage is a hidden sanctuary in the heart of Montrose, where timeless English cottage charm meets the beauty of a private garden retreat. Surrounded by a lush, manicured courtyard, this enchanting property feels worlds away from the city, offering a rare sense of tranquility. Bathed in natural light, every room is thoughtfully designed to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Classic English architectural details and rich character evoke the feeling of the English countryside in the heart of Houston. Beyond the main residence, two detached studios (additional 616 s.f.-per appraisal of air-conditioned space) offers exceptional flexibility for artists, creatives, remote professionals, or anyone seeking dedicated space for work or hobbies. Whether enjoying a quiet morning in the courtyard or entertaining beneath the trees, every corner of Elm Tree Cottage inspires. A truly rare offering of timeless design, craftsmanship, and an unforgettable sense of place.
