About 1604 Kirby Drive
Experience the rare opportunity to own an architecturally significant landmark designed by the renowned architect John F. Staub, situated on a sprawling twenty-four thousand eight hundred ninety-nine square foot lot in the heart of River Oaks. This storied estate blends a Federal-influenced facade with a garden-facing elevation inspired by Louisiana plantation homes, offering a sophisticated canvas for a thoughtful restoration. A circular driveway leads to a distinctive rear-facing entry, where a gracious foyer & sweeping staircase welcome guests into the formal living & dining spaces. The residence showcases traditional moldings & an exquisite hand-painted mural inspired by East Asian art within the formal dining room. A glass-enclosed gallery with soaring ceilings provides a seamless connection between the handsome wood-paneled study & the lush private grounds. The kitchen opens to an informal gathering room featuring sliding glass doors that lead to the wide patio & sparkling swimming pool. All five bedrooms reside on the upper floor, ensuring privacy & quiet tranquility. Positioned within the prestigious River Oaks community, this property offers proximity to the luxury boutiques of the Galleria & the vibrant energy of Downtown Houston. The vast outdoor space serves as a serene retreat while providing a sense of seclusion. This architectural collectible stands ready for a visionary update to reclaim its status as one of the most distinguished premier Houston residences.

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.
