About 3971 Inverness Drive
Nestled in the Tall Timbers section of River Oaks, this exquisite residence, built in 1984, epitomizes timeless elegance and architectural brilliance. Designed by the renowned Ray Bailey Architects, this modified New England "Salt Box" home received a 1985 Houston AIA award. Set on a sprawling one-plus acre wooded lot, the property seamlessly blends contemporary details with New England-style reserve, creating a perfect hybrid design that continues to captivate. The home's structural integrity is ensured by a steel-enforced concrete pier and beam foundation. Special amenities abound, including approximately 100-year-old reclaimed wide plank hardwood floors, exterior moisture-resistant cypress wood siding, a commercial-grade heating and cooling system, a slate tile roof, climate-controlled wine cellar, 4-car attached garage, and more! The kitchen, baths, attached greenhouse, screened porch and gallery have hand-molded brick floors. This home reflects forethought and attention to detail.

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.
