Property Description
Discover an exceptional Southampton home built and designed by renowned Bruce Barnett and Lucian Hood. This stately Georgian brick residence, cherished by its original owner, sits across from Rice University, blending timeless elegance with an unbeatable location. A grand two-story entry and curved staircase set the tone for refined living. The spacious living, dining and family room areas open to a New Orleans-style courtyard with a pool. The kitchen and bay-windowed breakfast room offer serene views of oak trees. Upstairs, four bedrooms, three baths, and a distinguished library with herringbone floors and custom shelving reflects the owner's meticulous craftsmanship and love for detail. A third-floor bonus room adds versatility. The property features a three-car garage, gated drive, and a 666 sq. ft. (per appraisal) workshop—ideal as a pool house or in-law suite. A rare opportunity in one of Houston's most sought-after neighborhoods. Per Seller
