Houston’s real estate market is scorching hot right now, and there’s one house that stands out from the rest. Why? It’s the unofficial “Darth Vader House”, or a 7,000-square-foot home inspired by the space opera, complete with four bedrooms, 4.5 baths and a four-car attached garage, all located an 18,000 square foot corner lot in University Place. This living space was completed in 1992 and listed by Wade Knight with Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty.
On the outside, the shape of the house itself looks somewhat like Darth Vader’s helmet, while the interior boasts laser blue back lighting that highlights certain sections of the four-bedroom, five-bathroom home. There’s lots of custom closets throughout and a four car garage should you have a starfighter or two to park. Unfortunately, it will set you back a cool $4.3-million USD.

The home was allegedly built by a surgeon in 1991 to be modeled after the mask of Darth Vader. The design lends its way for natural light to arrive through a row of skylights near the top of the unique structure. The entrance is surrounded with a walkway structure that maintains the angle of the front of the home, complimenting the rigid though sleek structure,” said the listing agent.
