This one-third acre property is nestled mid-block on Cherokee Street within the Cherokee Place neighborhood. Platted in 1923, the area was developed by oilman Henry Birdsall Masterson shortly after the opening of nearby Rice University. *Property lines are approximate and should be verified independently*
This 15,120-square-foot lot is an absolute gardener's paradise with its exceptional southern and eastern light and bountiful planter beds. Enjoy herb and vegetable gardens within easy reach of the cook's kitchen. In the distance, a spiral staircase provides easy access to upper-level living spaces.
Glass doors open to a marble-tiled foyer flanked by a grand staircase and access to a convenient coat closet, office and the formal living room. Ceilings throughout the first level rise 8.75 feet high, and a flexible floor plan allows for a number of layouts and uses.
Warm yourself in front of the formal living room's white painted-brick wood-burning fireplace on chilly evenings. On summer days, French doors tempt you out to the back deck and garden.
Configured here as a library area, the formal living room boasts walls of floor-to-ceiling bookcases with sliding doors and extending brushed nickel sconces. Stainless steel track lighting and two square windows provide additional light.
The centrally located breakfast room is flanked by the formal living room, the family room and the sunroom. During large gatherings, envision the space as the perfect cocktail reception area before guests take their seats in the impressive dining room.
Two large south-facing windows flood the breakfast room with glorious natural light and views of the side garden. To the right, you'll find the formal living room, with the sunroom/formal dining room to the left.

– The curves of the upper mezzanine railing and opening convey a Streamline Moderne aesthetic. Below, Saltillo tiles add warmth and earthiness that connects the space to the verdant garden views.
The impressive sunroom is perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining with French doors that open directly to the pool deck. A frosted glass barn door conceals and reveals the adjacent kitchen as needed.
Imagine ushering guests into this dramatic sunroom space where ceilings soar nearly 17 feet tall and walls of windows frame extraordinary backyard views. Eastern and southern exposures maximize the natural light.
Is it a conservatory, a dining room or both? Stretching more than 28 feet long, this sunroom space easily accommodates dinner for a dozen close friends, plus a grand piano and sitting area.
The breathtaking sunroom is accessed from the family room, breakfast room and kitchen. Above, a mezzanine hallway runs alongside private quarters. Outside, billowing curtains provide a respite from the sun when needed.
Throughout the home, wide cased openings emphasize the spacious proportions and elegant flow from room to room. Distinctive red outlet covers add a modern pop of color to the crisp-white living spaces.
The family room is perfectly positioned between the breakfast room and the spectacular sunroom/formal dining room — an ideal layout for both large-scale entertaining and daily life. A peek into the sunroom brings the outdoor vistas in.
Saltillo tile floors usher you into the welcoming family room bordered by tall baseboards and crown molding. Tall arched niches add warmth and elegance, while wide white art walls await your prized collection.

Cook for intimate gatherings and large galas with equal ease in this industrial chick kitchen spanning more than 200 square feet. Stainless steel appliances, track lighting and exposed ductwork add a commercial kitchen ambiance.
Cook in comfort in this palatial kitchen thanks to a Bulthaup oven ventilation system and Rodgers air-conditional control panel. Access to the yard, dining room and utility room beyond sliding frosted glass doors adds convenience.
Open shelving and wood paneling add a stately touch to the large study that leads to the sunken library. Adjustable track lighting and a west-facing window provide thoughtful illumination throughout.
This private sanctuary features a library and office that are perfect for dedicated study and work. Walls of open shelving and cabinetry provide abundant storage for books and important papers accessed by a convenient library ladder.
Enjoy bird's-eye views of the sunroom, pool deck and beautiful gardens from this lofty mezzanine perch topped by recessed lighting. Hardwood flooring and 8.75-foot ceilings run throughout the second floor.
Vertical elements, including the window frames and mezzanine support beams, accentuate the jaw-dropping, nearly 17-foot-tall scale of the sunroom. Crisp white walls and railings allow the garden scenery to take center stage.
On the wide mezzanine overlooking the dramatic sunroom, you'll find plenty of space for seating areas and reading nooks. Here, a sliding frosted glass door reveals guest bedroom #2, featuring a shared walk-in closet and bathroom.
Like most rooms in the house, the game room offers spectacular views of the property's lush grounds. The game room also boasts a large storage closet with built-in shelving and access to guest bedroom #2.
The spacious second-floor game room boasts hardwood floors, white art walls, textured white plaster ceilings and custom crown molding. You'll find ample space for couches, games and a media lounge in this bright retreat.
Guest bedroom #1 enjoys wonderful natural light thanks to four large windows along the western and southern exposure. This extra-large room features painted wall-paneling, custom wood blinds and a large wall-mounted mirror.
Between guest bedrooms #1 and #2, you'll find a beautiful bathroom trimmed with marble slabs and deep red ceramic tile. Enjoy a deep-soaking tub, Kohler commode and bidet, and a Kohler pedestal sink featuring Moen and Delta fixtures.
Guest bedroom #2 features a generous, nearly 12-foot by 12-foot footprint and large south-facing windows with custom wood blinds. A shared bathroom and dressing area connect to guest bedroom #1.
Secondary bedroom #3 impresses with an expansive layout, painted paneling and a glass door opening to a private balcony. A private bathroom with a brass-framed shower and walk-in custom closet add convenience to this upper-level suite.
Enjoy treetop seating and near-endless storage in the massive third-floor flex room. Three more large rooms facing north, east and west provide the ideal footprint for future additional beds and baths in this sprawling home.
Stretching more than 55 feet long, the third-floor flex room accommodates a multitude of uses, including a playroom, game room or home gym. Walls of attic closets, built-ins and a window seat add both utility and charm.
Surrounded by mature trees and landscaping, this lush property is a relaxing sanctuary in the heart of the city. In the side yard, a spacious patio and wooden deck run alongside the sunroom.
Brick planter beds with lush tropical plants surround the pool deck while string lighting winds among the tall trees. The large yard also includes wonderful herb and vegetable gardens and a convenient storage room for yard equipment.
A tall three-tiered fountain adorned with bold lion motifs provides a tranquil ambiance in the side yard. This south-facing space also delivers the perfect setting for sunbathing and container gardening.
Nestled in Houston's desirable Cherokee Place neighborhood, this expansive 7,118-square-foot residence offers a timeless quality with both modern and traditional influences. Built in 1934 by Nolde architects, the home enjoyed a 1977 remodel by Milton McGinty Architect and a 1995 renovation by Robert W. McKinney Architect.
