The 1911 Sess Cleveland mansion at 8 Courtlandt Place, spanning 5,700 sq ft, is now on the market after a 70% price hike since its 2015 sale.
The house blends early‑20th‑century architecture by Sanguinet & Staats with John F. Staub redesigns, retaining hardwood floors, black marble detailing, a Texas limestone hearth, and adding quartzite countertops with Wolf appliances.
The gated enclave, added to the National Register in 1980, has seen recent sales, with 15 Courtlandt closing at $4.6 million in July 2026, signaling sustained demand for historic luxury homes.
A local tech entrepreneur remarked that the mansion’s original service staircase and screened porch give it a rare blend of heritage and modern convenience, making it a coveted title.
The Compass listing will open for viewings on Wednesday and close for offers on Friday, inviting bids from Houston’s affluent circles.
