About This Home

As of April 2020

CHECK OUT THE LISTING VIDEO! Showcased on the Houston Heights Association's Holiday Home Tour and published in Houston House & Home magazine, 1629 Cortlandt is nestled on one of the most prestigious and sought-after blocks in the Heights.

Modern, luxurious details harmoniously coexist with the preserved, historic design elements from the Victoria era. 12 foot ceilings throughout, original hardwood flooring***, extensive crown molding, site-built cabinetry, sparkling pool with Chicago brick surround, are just a few of the elements that make this home truly special. Found within walk distance to iconic 19th Street, Heights Mercantile, neighborhood parks, restaurants, entertainment, and shopping. (*per HCAD) (**per seller) (***excluding kitchen)
