320 E 20th Street
Houston, TX 77008
$3,800,000
Rare opportunity to own a historic Heights compound on 34,320 SF (0.788 acres) spanning five contiguous lots. The main structure is a two-story mid-century building with a 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath upstairs apartment, original character intact. The property also includes a 1945 post-war lumber warehouse and two additional studio warehouse structures — 18,962 SF of buildings in total — offering extraordinary potential for live-work, creative compound, adaptive reuse, or new development. Houston has no zoning and the historic preservation ordinance does not regulate use, making the site available for residential or commercial development. All buildings are classified as Non-Contributing in the Heights East Historic District — demolition requires only a standard city permit. 132 feet of frontage on 20th Street plus alley access along Arlington Street. Located 0.3 miles from the Heights Shopping District and 3.0 miles from Downtown Houston.
