About this House

What's unique:Antique wood floorsResort groundsCircle driveCanopy of mature treesArched windowStained-glass accent windows
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.
