    Posh and palatial Post Oak penthouse towers on market with a potentially historic $5.9 million asking price

    Amber Heckler
    Jun 9, 2023 | 9:50 am

    A monumental 26th floor penthouse with a mighty price tag in downtown H-Town has commanded the eyes and ears of our city’s highly active real estate market.

    The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom condo spans across 9,503 square feet in the Astoria building at 1409 Post Oak Blvd. Stunning floor-to-ceiling windows and a spacious balcony allow guests to overlook the beautiful downtown skyline.

    Access to the penthouse is provided by a private elevator entrance, allowing future owners and guests to retain their privacy in a city that knows it all. Once inside, guests are introduced into a world of elegance with the home’s designer finishes and resort-style amenities.

    The master suite boasts two walk-in closets, a private spa-like bathroom with separate his-and-her vanities, a glass-enclosed shower with entrances on two sides, and a deep tub for a relaxing bath.

    Other extravagant features of the penthouse include:

    • Chef’s kitchen with Eggersmann cabinets
    • Miele appliances and a wine chiller
    • Formal dining room
    • Media room
    • Steam room
    • Sauna
    • Gym
    • Pool
    • Two assigned parking spaces
    • Downstairs storage unit

    If the condo is sold for the list price of $5.9 million, it will be the fifth most expensive penthouse sold in Houston’s history, calling to mind the River Oaks’ Penthouse Two West and Astoria’s 28th floor penthouse that sold in 2022.

    The condo is situated within the heart of the Galleria, bringing its future owners within walking distance of all the high-end shopping excursions, fine dining experiences, and more. And for any necessary traveling on the Loop and beyond, the Astoria building is just minutes away from 610 and 69.

    The listing is held by agents Geron Fuller and Nadia Jubran of Geron Fuller of Nan and Company Properties.

    Much like the rest of the penthouse, floor-to-ceiling windows grant an abundance of natural light.

    guess who

    This affluent Houston enclave is the richest small town in Texas

    Affluent Houston neighbor Bellaire is cashing in as the richest small town in Texas for 2025, according to new study from GoBankingRates.

    The report, "The Richest Small Town in Every State," used data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey to determine the 50 richest small towns in America based on their median household income.

    Of course, Houstonians realize that describing Bellaire as a "small town" is a bit of misnomer. Located less than 10 miles from downtown and fully surrounded by the City of Houston, Bellaire is a wealthy enclave that boasts a population of just over 17,000 residents. These affluent citizens earn a median $236,311 in income every year, which GoBankingRates says is the 11th highest household median income out of all 50 cities included in the report.

    The average home in this city is worth over $1.12 million, but Bellaire's lavish residential reputation often attracts properties with multi-million-dollar price tags.

    Bellaire also earned a shining 81 livability score for its top quality schools, health and safety, commute times, and more. The livability index, provided by Toronto, Canada-based data analytics and real estate platform AreaVibes, said Bellaire has "an abundance of exceptional local amenities."

    "Among these are conveniently located grocery stores, charming coffee shops, diverse dining options and plenty of spacious parks," AreaVibes said. "These local amenities contribute significantly to its overall appeal, ensuring that [residents'] daily needs are met and offering ample opportunities for leisure and recreation."

    Many popular Houston restaurants are setting their sights on this wealthy enclave. Detroit-style pizzamakers Gold Tooth Tony’s opened its second pizza joint in Bellaire in 2024. And most recently, Michelin-recognized Tex-Mex restaurant Candente announced it would open a second location just down the street from Gold Tooth Tony's at 5101 Bellaire Blvd.

    Earlier in 2025, GoBankingRates ranked Bellaire as the No. 23 wealthiest suburb in America, and it's no stranger to being named on similar lists comparing the richest American cities.
