Once upon a time in Houston, Jackson Hicks was “The Prince of Parties.” The renowned caterer and event planner behind Jackson and Co. threw some of the best bashes in the Bayou City, for everyone from presidents to bold-face society names.
Hicks passed away in 2020, but the memories of “a Jackson” event live on for anyone who attended one.
Memories also linger through the walls of 200 Westmoreland Street, Hicks’ former home, a 1910 Greek Revival masterpiece, where Hicks himself welcomed many of the city's icons. The home is on the market for $2.95 million and represented by Tim Surratt of Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty.
A true “if these walls could talk” space, 200 Westmoreland Street has been updated for modern sensibilities, while retailing all of its original elegance. A grand entry opens into the three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home’s light-filled rooms. The chef’s kitchen has marble countertops, a Wolf range, and a cozy breakfast room. Upstairs, the primary suite has a fireplace, walk-in closet, luxurious bath, and access to a spacious den with a balcony.
Lovely details include tall windows, intricate millwork, original hardwood floors, and four fireplaces.
200 Westmoreland Street was made for living and entertaining, with cozy nooks and open rooms offering spaces for gathering with family and friends. A pool house doubles as a workout space or guest suite with a Murphy bed and full bath. And the detached two-story carriage house has a four-car garage and a one-bedroom apartment. The heated outdoor pool and deck surrounding it add to the home’s appeal.
From curb appeal through its living spaces and grounds, 200 Westmoreland Street evokes gracious living. That’s exactly what Jackson Hicks brought to his events, and what this home’s new owners will surely appreciate.
