Property details

About 824 Cortlandt St

Located in the heart of Houston's popular Heights neighborhood, 824 Cortlandt St is a property that blends historic charm with an opportunity to build your dream home. Constructed in 1920, this multi-family residence spans 1,508 square feet and comprises 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. A standout feature is the updated 2-bedroom garage apartment situated above a 3-car garage. This configuration is grandfathered in, as current Heights Historic District regulations no longer permit such structures, enhancing its uniqueness and value. Families will appreciate the property's zoning to the esteemed Harvard Elementary School, recognized as a top-rated institution within HISD. This home is being sold as-is, presenting a unique opportunity for buyers to own a piece of Houston's architectural heritage.
