Sherwood Forest
This amazing home is part of the fabric of Houston. Designed by famous architect Clovis Heimsath, it was constructed (1974) to be the home for renowned racing driver AJ Foyt. The home features a magnificent entrance with 22-foot ceilings that leads to the sunken living room with 26-foot ceilings, gorgeous half-moon window seat & a hidden bar. The main bar is in a remarkable room adorned with windows & the light / views pour in. There is a "walnut" lined library, dining room, sizable kitchen, breakfast room, utility room, half bath & finally the large Primary Bedroom. Take one of 2 stairways to the 2nd floor - 4 en suite bedrooms, outdoor terrace & a further inset seating area. The grounds are something else & a short stroll leads to a large pool & 3 Bed / 3 Bath pool house (1542 sq ft), from the 1950's. There is a 4-car attached garage with further parking for up to 25 cars on the grounds. This piece of Houston history needs to be seen, to be appreciated. Please see attached video.
