A resident of the River Oaks and West University communities for over 25 years, real estate agent Sherri Hughey is more than familiar with Houston's premier neighborhoods.

While she specializes in River Oaks, West University, Southside Place, Southampton, Southgate, Braeswood, and Bellaire, Sherri is very comfortable working in all areas of the city.

Though Sherri has been helping her clients buy and sell for the past decade, most recently with Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty, she also has a background in finance and accounting for the oil and gas industry. Her unique experience, combined with her strong work ethic and attention to detail, have consistently made her a top producer.

Sherri also understands the importance of giving back to her community — her past and present volunteer efforts include Episcopal High School, Lamar High School, River Oaks Baptist School, Zoo Friends, The National Charity League, The Houston Ballet Guild, West University Softball Association, Lamar Baseball Booster Club, and West University Little League.

She holds a bachelor of arts degree from Syracuse University and an MBA from Tulane University.

We chatted with Sherri to find out more about her work and what drives her.

1039 Harvard Street is a custom home in the center of the Heights. It's listed at $1.995 million.

The home instantly fits within its surroundings, with spacious living areas and modern amenities that will appeal to many homebuyers. 1039 Harvard Street blends function with form, offering several gathering spaces, four oversized bedrooms, spa-like baths, and a stunning backyard pool.

The spacious master bedroom is a private oasis, with a framed separation prior to entering the sleeping area. It creates a space to enjoy morning coffee or a mid-day read while overlooking the pool. The Hunter Douglas Vignette Modern Roman shades add to the room’s calming feel. Its adjoining bathroom is like stepping into a spa, with a deep Jacuzzi tub that sits within an open shower area. Built-in dressers line the wardrobe closet, which offers plenty of storage space and a vanity.

An upstairs TV lounge is perfect for kids’ movie nights or an adult gathering. Meanwhile, a center corridor is lined with built-in bookshelves and a tech closet from which to run a modern home.The east-facing bedroom has a window seat for lounging, and its bathroom offers a frameless shower enclosure and quartz counters. The front bedroom has its own bath, and the two middle bedrooms have a shared, ensuite Hollywood bath. On the top floor, a game room offers another place for entertaining.

The home’s kitchen features a waterfall island as its centerpiece, complete with Asko dishwasher and deep sink. There’s a gas fireplace in the living room, and the open floor plan allows for plenty of space and natural light.

Outdoors at 1039 Harvard Street is just as impressive as the inside. Patios offer space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the in-ground Platinum Pool is a great way to cool off in Houston’s heat.

Located in the center of the Heights, 1039 is close to Harvard Elementary School, as well as the neighborhood’s many amenities. This is truly a home that is move-in ready, and will make its owners want to stay a while.
