There are homes... and then there are masterpieces.
Featured on Discovery Channel's World's Greatest Homes and showcased in Texas Architect Magazine, THE 505 is an internationally celebrated National AIA Award-winning residence designed by acclaimed architect Jim Evans of Collaborative Designworks. Created for those who appreciate exceptional design, this iconic home represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history in one of Houston's most sought-after neighborhoods.
Nestled within the vibrant heart of Montrose, this extraordinary 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath contemporary residence is a private sanctuary surrounded by Houston's finest experiences. World-class museums, the Texas Medical Center, Downtown Houston, The Menil Collection, Michelin-recognized restaurants, intimate wine bars, artisan coffee shops, and premier entertainment are all just moments away, placing the very best of the city at your doorstep.
Every detail has been intentionally crafted to blur the line between architecture and art. Walls of glass flood the interiors with natural light while preserving remarkable privacy. Soaring ceilings, sculptural floating staircases, rich bamboo and upgraded hardwood flooring, and dramatic architectural lines create an atmosphere that feels both grand and remarkably livable. Every room unfolds with purpose, elegance, and effortless sophistication.
At the heart of the home lies an unforgettable chef's kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful. Striking custom blue cabinetry, luxurious marble and granite surfaces, a customized six-burner JennAir gas range, double ovens, professional-grade stainless steel appliances, an oversized entertaining island, wet bar, and wine cooler create a culinary space worthy of the home's celebrated design. Expansive terraces seamlessly extend the living spaces outdoors, inviting unforgettable evenings beneath the stars and the glow of Houston's skyline.
The primary suite is a tranquil retreat designed for complete relaxation. Wake each morning to skyline views before stepping onto your private balcony with a fresh cup of coffee. The spa-inspired bath offers a whirlpool soaking tub, oversized frameless glass shower, dual vanities, and a custom walk-in wardrobe worthy of a luxury boutique. An adjoining flex space easily transforms into a private executive office, fitness studio, nursery, dressing lounge, or peaceful reading room.
Outside, a serene private Zen garden with a calming water feature offers a quiet escape from the energy of the city, while multiple private balconies and a spectacular rooftop deck provide breathtaking settings for sunset cocktails, intimate gatherings, or simply taking in Houston's dazzling skyline.
Additional features include a private lower-level guest suite with a full bath ideal for visitors or multigenerational living, an attached two-car garage, generous storage throughout, and the exceptional benefit of no HOA, offering the freedom to enjoy this remarkable property without compromise.
THE 505 is far more than an award-winning home. It is a collector's piece. A conversation starter. A lifestyle reserved for those who believe extraordinary architecture should be experienced, not simply admired.
