About 216 E. 26th Street
Beneath a canopy of mature trees lies The Heights Compound—a rare opportunity that may never be replicated in the Houston Heights. Spanning 8 contiguous lots behind 4 motorized gates, this unique estate evokes the timeless architecture of a historic Heights home, yet was built in the late ’90s and lies outside a designated historic district. Distinctive details include antique wood floors, stained-glass accent windows, elegant millwork and a private porch from every bedroom. The 2,217 SF pool house offers 2 BD/4 BATH, including 2 exterior country-club-style full baths, plus an arched window, elevator, full kitchen and billiard/game spaces. 1 BD/1 BATH guest quarters over the garage add flexibility. Resort grounds offer a pool, outdoor tiki-style grill/bar, putting green and lighted sport court with pickleball potential. On-site guest parking, circle drive and 5-car covered pavilion complete the estate. Preserve it for generations or explore subdivision potential. Life Behind the Gates.

School information is generated by the most current available data we have. However, as school boundary maps can change, and schools can get too crowded (whereby students zoned to a school may not be able to attend in a given year if they are not registered in time), you need to independently verify and confirm enrollment and all related information directly with the school.
