When it gets a little too impersonal riding around in the Death Star and you’re looking to get away from the Ewok infestation, you can always kick back at The Darth Vader House in Houston.
Built in 1992, the futuristic, 7,040-square-foot house at 3201 University Blvd., recently hit the market for $4.3 million. The property is represented by Wade Knight and Nadia Carron with Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty.
The house has a unique entrance that’s designed in a way that makes it look like Darth Vader’s helmet we’ve all seen in the Star Wars series. In 1992, architect Lynn Swisher converted plastic surgeon Jean Cukier’s vision into a menacing presence on a quiet street southwest of downtown Houston.
The architecture is impressive, but the amenities will bring you in like a tractor beam.
With four bedrooms, the house has room for plenty of visitors, such as a Wookiee, an Alderaan princess, a couple of droids, maybe a clone. The house has five full bathrooms (extra bathrooms come in handy with a Wookiee in the house.)
The house is described as a “contemporary masterpiece” with open rooms, massive windows, and a museum-home setting with lots of cool laser blue backlighting. It also has a four-car garage, which could be a tight fit for a Millennium Falcon. Being made of brick, the interior is probably not space-ready. Because, Texas.
Already, the house has drawn the interest of rapper 50 Cent, who just moved to Houston, Carron told the Houston Chronicle.
Sorry, Sith Lords. Death Star Superlaser is not included, but we’re pretty sure the HOA wouldn’t allow it anyway
