Set on an extra-large lot of more than 15,000 square feet, 2920 San Felipe is among the ever-shrinking constellation of original River Oaks homes. Like many others of its era, it is of classic proportions with an old-fashioned room arrangement. It was designed by Birdsall Briscoe, one of Houston’s foremost architects, and was originally built in 1928 as a spec house for the River Oaks Corporation.
The rooms are knit together in a pleasant way that is the complete opposite of an open floor plan. Downstairs includes a living room with fireplace, the dining room with vintage wainscoting, a nicely arranged kitchen and a family room with wet bar. The postage-stamp-sized powder room has a pull-down brass sink such as you might find on a passenger train circa 1935.
