Welcome to 520 Knox Street, an architecturally stunning, corner lot townhome located in Rice Military, steps from Memorial Park.
ENTRY. Lockable wrought iron gate and front door is down the side of the home. Garage access is around with corner with direct entry into the home. No street parking means your street stays clear of cars but there is nearby parking for guests.
WRAP AROUND YARD. Stylish pavers were extended by the current owners, complimented by turf to maximize the wrap around yard space.
ROOFTOP DECK. Roof top decks don't look like this very often. This one has the feel of a high end roof top bar. Complete with full outdoor kitchen, firepit, countertops, wood tile decking, pergola, recessed lighting and string lights, this became a much loved space for the owners, especially when they had friends over.
The rooftop deck offers city views with the Downtown Houston skyline off to the left. Because of the corner lot location, you get to see a lot of sky from up here.
LIVING ROOM. A living space which would be quite comfortable on the page of a luxury design magazine. Second-floor living room features high ceilings, real hardwood floors and oversized black-industrial framed windows. The blinds are Wifi/Alexa controlled. Note the spectacular natural light in here.
Oversized windows and high ceilings add to the open feel of the second-floor living space.
Additional features include recessed lighting and large modern industrial style fan.
The large space provides ample room for almost any furniture configurations.
KITCHEN. The kitchen is simply stunning with an impressive 10 foot marble island, marble countertops, on trend two toned cabinetry with high end stainless steel appliances. Note all the natural light thanks to the multiple dining windows.
An oversized center island provides substantial prep space, additional storage and seating for four.
Stainless-steel appliances include a gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, beverage fridge, built-in microwave and oven.
The connection between the kitchen and living area.

MEMORIAL PARK. One of the best things about this area of Rice Military is its' proximity to Memorial Park with open green spaces, lakes, and trails.
