In a galaxy not so far away, Houston’s infamous “Darth Vader House” has re-emerged on the real estate market, priced at $3.75 million. This architectural homage to the Dark Side, originally conceived by plastic surgeon Dr. Jean Cukier in 1992, has become a focal point of both fascination and controversy in the upscale West University Place neighborhood.

The 7,040-square-foot residence features four bedrooms and five bathrooms. It looks like the helmet of the Star Wars villain, Darth Vadar. However, its recent history has been as tumultuous as a battle on the Death Star. The property found itself at the center of a legal skirmish between the City of West University Place and its former occupants.

The dispute arose when the previous tenant, often referred to as Instagram’s “Real Million Dollar Closer,” allegedly hosted high-profile events that violated local zoning and parking ordinances. These gatherings, advertised as entrepreneurial mixers, reportedly charged up to $100 per ticket, much to the chagrin of city officials.

Despite its controversial recent past, the home’s unique design continues to captivate potential buyers. Originally inspired by stealth fighter jets, the structure features a striking black stone exterior that extends into the interior, creating a canyon-like atmosphere with two imposing staircases.

Listed by Jason Junkin of Nitya Realty, the property is marketed as “the epitome of entertainment,” complete with a wet bar, wine room, and newly added pool and hot tub. As the Force-ful abode seeks a new owner, it remains to be seen whether this architectural tribute to the Dark Side will find a buyer who can restore balance to the neighborhood. If not, you can just rent it for $17,000 a month.
