Overview

§ 01

This French-inspired home charms from the entry: Segreto Finishes walls and ceilings, a sweeping staircase under a custom iron balustrade, wide-plank hardwood floors, carved stone fireplaces, marble and granite floors and countertops, and tall windows — made for both daily living and stylish entertaining. The kitchen gathers everyone: faux-gilded custom cabinetry, a built-in breakfront, and a granite island with dining shelf and prep sink, plus cabinet-front SubZero, Fisher & Paykel, and Viking appliances. Breakfast room opens to the family room; the first floor also offers a full bar, wine room, and formal living room. The primary suite upstairs is a retreat with a sitting area, fireplace, juice bar, and a marble-clad bath with barrel ceiling, two water closets, and two walk-in closets. Secondary bedrooms all have en-suite baths. The finished third floor holds an office with desk and bookcases, plus a full bath; could be 5th bedroom. Outside, a summer kitchen extends the living space.

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.
