The unique Darth Vader House, blending modern and futuristic design.
The iconic ‘Darth Vader House’ in Houston has officially sold for $3.35 million to international sculptor Enrique Cabrera. This unique property, known for its striking design, will now be transformed into the ‘Black Bull House’. With a history of fluctuating market listings, the property’s futuristic features and modern renovations have made it a local landmark. Cabrera has ambitious plans to add a large sculpture to complement the property’s design, ensuring that the legacy of this unusual home continues.
If you live in Houston or have been keeping an eye on real estate news, you’ll be thrilled to know that the iconic Darth Vader House has officially found its new owner. Yes, you heard it right! On April 15, 2025, this swoon-worthy, jet-black residence sold for a whopping $3.35 million. Nestled in the heart of the bustling West University area at 3200 block of University Blvd, this home stands out like a beacon with its spaceship-like design.
Spanning a generous 7,000 square feet, this distinctive property has been making waves due to its striking architectural features. The combination of dark stone angles and a sloped aluminum roof gives it a futuristic vibe, making it a local landmark that residents and visitors simply can’t ignore.
The house has had a bit of a tumultuous history in the real estate market, having been on and off the market several times. Originally listed at $4.3 million back in 2021, its price gradually adjusted over time. But now, its story continues with a brand new chapter under the ownership of international sculptor Enrique Cabrera.
Say goodbye to the “Darth Vader House”—though locals might still stick to this beloved nickname. Cabrera has plans to transform the property into the “Black Bull House.” As part of this transition, he has intriguing plans for the exterior. How does a $2.4 million black bull statue sound? Cabrera believes that this sculpture will beautifully complement the sharp edges and contemporary design of his new home.
Under the previous ownership of Jason Junkin, the interior received some snazzy renovations. It now showcases an airy and bright aesthetic with all-white walls and floors, floor-to-ceiling glass that invites natural light to flood in, and floating glass staircases that make quite a statement. It’s the perfect blend of modernity while still echoing the house’s unique character.
Moreover, tech enthusiasts will find joy in the homeowner’s updates to the house. With smart lighting systems that can be effortlessly controlled through Wi-Fi, this home is equipped for the tech-savvy lifestyle of today’s homeowners.
The Darth Vader House was originally the brainchild of Dr. Jean Cuckier, a plastic surgeon from Houston who drew inspiration from the iconic “Star Wars” franchise and the wonders of high-tech spaceflight. It’s easy to see why numerous families and individuals have been enchanted by this property over the years.
The house features a total of four bedrooms and five bathrooms, providing ample space for families and guests alike. It’s not just a house; it’s a lifestyle and a conversation starter that any guest entering can’t help but marvel at.
As the newly minted owner steps into the spotlight, Junkin has expressed plans to embark on future projects himself. And humorously enough, he didn’t shy away from mentioning the whimsical idea of buying a Lamborghini boat. Who knows what he might conjure up next?
So, what does the future hold for the Black Bull House? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: this Houston landmark has more adventures ahead, and the charm of the Darth Vader House will not soon be forgotten.
