About 640 W. 17th Street

Meticulously maintained, New Orleans-style home in the heart of Houston Heights. This timeless residence offers an ideal blend of classic charm. Extensive improvements completed in 2026 include refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, painted trim, kitchen and bath cabinetry. The open-concept kitchen overlooks the spacious family room and features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, under-cabinet lighting, and a charming window seat in the breakfast area. All bedrooms are located upstairs, including the generous primary suite with a spa-inspired bath and private balcony. The low-maintenance backyard is designed for easy living with artificial turf, a sprinkler system. Alley-accessed two-car garage includes an approximately 400-square-foot garage apartment/flex space that's perfect as a fourth bedroom, home office, gym, or guest suite.

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.
