Hello BBBB Friends:
I’ve been off the grid for a couple of weeks (travel, not a silent retreat), so this week was all about catching up—especially with price reductions, new contracts, and final sales from homes that are Still on My List. The fresh crop of listings gave me lots to choose from, and I’ve pulled together a mix of styles and price points that caught my eye. Let’s dive in.
Have a good week and,
Let’s look at houses or talk about selling yours!

*Note: For purposes of BBBB, the “Heights” is defined as the area between I-10 and Loop 610 N and between Shepherd and I-45).
** Still On My List is a compilation of those homes I’ve reviewed previously that have yet to sell.
The Week’s Featured Properties
521 W 27th St: $650,000
- Houston Heights
- Contemporary/Modern, c. 1999
- 2/2, 1,656 sq ft home on a 6,550 sq ft lot
- Polished concrete floors and 10′ ceilings
- Galley kitchen with open shelving, subway tile, and a bold glass-panel fridge
- Plenty of wall space for showcasing art or bold design choices
- Private POOL, patio, and plenty of green space
- Front yard privacy fence
- Gated driveway for parking
- Helms Elementary School
This one-story home started its life as a warehouse—and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. The three tall metal structures added to the front do their best to soften the look, but the transformation is complete both inside and out, with 10’ ceilings, a private pool, and green space that make it feel anything but industrial.

1817 Oxford: $875,000
- Houston Heights
- Craftsman Bungalow, c. 1920
- 3/2, 1,754 sq ft home on a 6,600 sq ft lot
- Recently renovated kitchen and primary bath
- Wide plank hardwood floors and wood blinds throughout
- Bespoke galley kitchen with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and a library ladder
- Two distinct living areas for flexibility and flow
- Primary bedroom with updated en-suite featuring a gorgeous stained wood cabinet with quartz top
- French doors from the family room open into the charming screened-in back porch
- Generous backyard designed with native plants to attract pollinators
- Gated driveway access to one-car detached garage with EV charging outlet
- Field Elementary School
This one grabbed my attention with its curb appeal—and the charm doesn’t stop at the front door. The screened-in back porch sealed its spot on the list (always a favorite feature of mine—especially when it keeps the mosquitoes out of my wine).

414 Arlington: $1,125,000
- Houston Heights South Historic District
- Greek Revival, c. 2014 by Concord Builders
- 4/4/1, 3,568 sq ft home on a 3,300 sq ft lot
- Classic double gallery porches
- Foyer with “Old Chicago brick” accent wall
- Formal living and dining rooms plus a spacious family room
- Kitchen with two-tone cabinetry and large island with seating for five
- Skywalk connects to laundry and a private guest suite with balcony
- All bedrooms have en-suite baths
- Third-floor game room or fourth bedroom with en-suite bath
- Alley access to 2-car attached garage
- Graveled parking pads span the block
- Harvard Elementary School
The only thing working against this home is its proximity to I-10—but that hasn’t slowed it down. It’s changed hands twice since 2018, each time in short order. It’s one of six homes on this block by the same builder, each offering a slightly different take on Greek Revival style.

943 Redan: $1,899,270
- Woodland Heights
- Craftsman-inspired new construction, c. 2025 by Renovative Thinking
- 4 bedrooms / 4 baths, 4,221 sq ft home on a 6,250 sq ft lot
- Home office or 5th bedroom with access to a full bath
- Formal dining room with designer wallpaper
- Chef’s kitchen with 48” built-in fridge, 48” gas range, quartz island with seating, and built-in breakfast banquette
- Open game room on 2nd floor landing
- Upstairs primary suite with wood beam coffered ceiling and spa-style bath with custom tile and wallpaper
- Two laundry rooms—one up, one down
- Oversized covered patio pre-plumbed & wired for future outdoor kitchen plus grassy yard
- Gated driveway access to 2-car garage (attached/detached configuration)
- Curbed street
- Travis Elementary School
At first glance, you might think: oh good, another new construction with white-on-white décor—perfect for customizing but kind of a snooze. Not this one. Here, the details do all the talking. From light taupe walls (where the wallpaper stops) to wood beam accents, an arched entry to the primary bath, and kitchen backsplash tile that’s refreshingly not subway, it’s full of thoughtful touches. And the primary closet? It has my name all over it.

2222 Oxford: $2,999,950
- Houston Heights
- French Colonial Revival, c. 2015

- Field Elementary School
One of only a handful of homes in the Heights over 7,000 sq ft, this French Colonial Revival beauty sits on a 10,000 sq ft lot—about as close as it gets to estate living in the neighborhood. The grand salon is anchored by fireplaces at either end, and with all five sets of double doors open to the front porch, you can almost picture a party in full swing, guests drifting in and out with ease. Definitely one to click through and see for yourself.
