Overview

§ 01

A stunning example of classic English-style architecture, this home sits on a spacious corner lot with a private brick-walled back garden. The exterior boasts a reclaimed terra cotta tile roof and hand-applied porridge brick. Interiors, designed by Elizabeth Young and featured in Elle Décor, showcase the exquisite builder craftsmanship with white oak, sandstone, and marble flooring, wood beams, and five masonry fireplaces beneath soaring ceilings. The living room seamlessly transitions to a lounge with a soapstone bar and dual Sub-Zero wine refrigerators, while the family room offers views of the pool and landscaped grounds designed and maintained by David Morello. The open-concept kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances. The primary suite is a luxurious retreat, complete with fireplace and a spa-like bath. The second level also offers four secondary bedrooms and a game room. Additional features include an elevator, generator, and exceptional attention to detail throughout.

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.
