About this home
This classic River Oaks residence is beautifully sited on an expansive 24,900 sq. ft. lot (per HCAD) and is one of only 31 River Oaks homes designed by renowned architect John F. Staub. Architecturally significant, the home blends a Federal-influenced front elevation with a garden façade reminiscent of a Louisiana plantation house. A circular driveway at the rear leads to a distinctive Staub hallmark: a rear-facing front door. Inside, a gracious entry foyer with sweeping staircase opens to the formal living and dining rooms, both adorned with traditional moldings. The dining room features a panoramic, hand-painted mural-style wallpaper inspired by East Asian art. A glass-enclosed gallery with soaring ceilings connects the living room, dining room, and wood-paneled study to the expansive grounds. The kitchen opens to an informal family room with sliding glass doors to the patio and pool. All bedrooms are upstairs. An architectural collectible ready to be thoughtfully renewed!
