Hidden deep in Houston's most prestigious neighborhood one finds an amazing home designed by architect Rudolph Colby, interior designer Richard Holley & built by Byer Custom Builders. The home was designed to look out over the natural beauty of the ravine. The home's considerable length hugs the glorious garden so that virtually every room opens onto the ravine. The home is situated on slightly over an acre of land and features large formals, paneled study, island kitchen, wine cellar & a tower.
