About 1117 Banks
Discover a landmark opportunity to own an architecturally significant estate designed by J.T. in the prestigious Museum District. This refined property harmoniously blends a main residence & a detached guest cottage for a combined total of nearly five thousand square feet of sophisticated living space on a sprawling corner lot. Situated moments from Rice University, the Texas Medical Center, & the vibrant cultural offerings of Downtown Houston, the estate provides unparalleled access to the city's finest landmarks. The primary residence showcases timeless craftsmanship across twenty-eight hundred square feet & features updated roofing & windows for modern peace of mind. Outside, professionally manicured gardens create a tranquil sanctuary between the two dwellings, offering a private retreat for relaxation or upscale entertaining. Practicality meets elegance with a spacious two-car garage & a thoughtfully designed parking court that accommodates guests with ease. The expansive grounds provide ample room to explore personal outdoor visions within one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the region. Residents can enjoy afternoons at Hermann Park or The Jung Center, both of which sit a short distance from the front door. Every detail of this 1930s masterpiece has been curated to offer a lifestyle defined by historical beauty & contemporary convenience. This estate represents a rare chance to reside in a piece of Houston history while enjoying the best of urban living.

School information is generated by the most current available data we have. However, as school boundary maps can change, and schools can get too crowded (whereby students zoned to a school may not be able to attend in a given year if they are not registered in time), you need to independently verify and confirm enrollment and all related information directly with the school.
