831 Cortlandt Street, Houston, Texas 77007

A garden sanctuary on one of the Heights’ most coveted streets, this 1, 500-square-foot home pairs expressive architecture with a quietly magical setting. Exposed timber ceilings, concrete floors and soft blue/green cabinetry define the open living spaces. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings, sculptural beams and leafy window views lend the two bedrooms a treehouse sensibility. The primary includes an ensuite bath; a second full bath downstairs welcomes guests. Created by the landscape architect owner, the garden unfolds around mature trees, brick paths and a water feature, with covered terraces inviting slow mornings and lingering evenings. It’s the kind of place where Houston seems to fall away. A covered lookout tower rises above the greenery with views across the Heights. Available furnished or unfurnished, with a washer/dryer, pet-friendly living and a covered carport accessed from the rear alley.
