1306 Castle Court, Houston, TX 77006

Behind the gates of Castle Court Terrace, an enclave of just ten Lovett Homes residences, this four-story brick-and-stucco townhome pairs old-world craftsmanship with lock-and-leave ease. An eight-foot arched mahogany door opens to a sculptural staircase with hardwood treads and wrought-iron spindles. Wood floors throughout, five-piece crown molding and eight-inch baseboards. The living level offers a light-filled great room with gas-log fireplace, a kitchen with white shaker cabinetry, glass-front uppers, an expansive island and Miele speed and convection ovens, and a dining room beneath an orb chandelier. The primary suite features a marble bath with soaking tub, frameless glass shower and separate vanities, plus a custom closet. Three bedrooms, three and a half baths, an open-air terrace, zoned HVAC and an attached two-car garage framed in steel. Across the street from Black Hole Coffee House and an easy walk to Hotel St. Augustine, the Menil Collection and Rothko Chapel.
