Overview

§ 01

Exceptional new construction built by Kanso on an oversized corner lot in Oak Forest! A dramatic two-story living room with soaring windows, custom built-ins and gas fireplace sets the stage, complemented by a sweeping curved staircase, 11' ceilings downstairs and European white oak floors. The showpiece kitchen features Taj Mahal quartzite, a 12' island, 48" range, custom cabinetry and panel-ready Fisher & Paykel appliances. The first-floor primary suite offers a spa-inspired Calacatta marble bath with soaking tub, separate shower and custom closet. Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms with walk-in closets and a spacious game room. A private study offers a potential 6th bedroom. Arhaus lighting, Kohler and Delta fixtures add refined touches throughout. A covered outdoor kitchen with gas grill opens to beautifully landscaped backyard and side yard spaces featuring Live Oaks, holly trees, privacy fencing and room for a pool. An exceptional blend of architectural elegance and modern comfort.

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
