Welcome to 801 Merrill, an iconic 1920s corner-lot residence in one of Houston's most coveted neighborhoods. This 3,801sqft masterpiece on a beautifully landscaped 7,134 sqft lot blends timeless charm with luxurious comfort—zoned to Travis Elementary.

The foyer opens to a front lounge—perfect for cocktails, or piano nights. Enjoy a formal dining room, family room, and formal living. The kitchen offers bar seating and a light-filled breakfast nook. Upstairs features four bedrooms and three full baths, plus the utility room. The expanded primary suite includes a spa-like bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and massive custom closet. Recent updates—roof, HVAC, water heaters, and furnace make this home turnkey. A wrap-around porch, lush gardens, and curb appeal complete this rare Woodland Heights gem.
