About 526 W. 26th Street
8/9 OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED Exceptional architecture defines this one-of-a-kind, elevator-ready Butterfly Loft, a modern interpretation of Houston’s traditional shotgun house. Exposed structural beams, expansive commercial-grade windows & the iconic two-story screened porch with double-sided fireplace create dramatic spaces, blurring the boundaries between indoors & out. Natural light fills the home, while an efficient floor plan flows naturally: 3rd-floor primary retreat, 2nd-floor living with “tree house views” & a flexible 1st floor with mini kitchen & full bath. Outdoor living complements the architecture with a pool-size yard, covered Canadian cedar therapy tub, turfed lawn, garden & fire pit—plus the confidence of a whole-house generator. A home that feels open yet intimate, dramatic yet welcoming—where exceptional architecture isn’t simply admired, but experienced every day.

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.
