About this home

A rare in-town estate, 20 Sunset Boulevard offers an extraordinary combination of security, architectural character, and location directly across from Rice University, with close proximity to Downtown, the Medical Center, and the Museum District. Behind private gates on approximately .41 acre, this distinguished 1942 residence has been thoughtfully renovated and refreshed for sophisticated modern living. Approximately 6,922 SF includes elegant formals, multiple living spaces, walnut herringbone floors, an antique marble mantel, crystal staircase balusters, and abundant natural light. A chef’s kitchen with a commercial-grade scullery & a glass-walled sunroom overlooking the grounds creates exceptional spaces for entertaining. The expansive primary suite features dual baths, dressing areas, & multiple closets. An elevator, mature landscaping, & a resort-style pool w/ pool house complete this exceptional estate--an opportunity extraordinarily difficult to recreate in the heart of Houston.
