6123 Rena Street

The expensive, invisible work on this 1972 brick ranch is already finished. The home has been repiped in PEX, and the underground sewer line was replaced out to the street — the two line items that most often derail a vintage home purchase. What's left is the good part. Four bedrooms sit on a single level, with formal living and formal dining flanking the entry and a 20x15 family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen offers granite counters, a pantry, and a new dishwasher and disposal, with a breakfast room alongside. A 21x12 sun porch on its own mini-split adds true year-round living space. Outside, a 9,750-square-foot half cul-de-sac lot holds mature fruit trees, native plantings, a full sprinkler system, and new fencing. Solar screens, blown new insulation, and a programmable thermostat handle efficiency. Security system and keyless entry installed. Two-car garage with utility room. Community pool, playground, and patrol. Blocks from library. Houston ISD.
