When Dr. Jean Cukier was ready to build his dream house in West University Place, he sat down with pencil and paper and drew it himself. He was taken with the Star Wars blockbuster movies and wanted his home to be as imposing as the biggest baddest guy in the show: "Star Wars" Darth Vader.
Nadia Carron, who with Wade Knight are co-listing agents for the Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty listing that has been on the market for one day, said that the home's resemblance to the Darth Vader's helmet and its nickname as the "Darth Vader House" are not a coincidence.

Real estate brokers got a first-day look at the place, and a few private showings have already been set up for potential buyers, including rapper 50 Cent Curtis James Jackson III who has expressed an interest in the house since his recent move to Houston, according to Carron.

The home was built in 1992 by Dr. Jean Cukier, who designed the structure to resemble the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter, which took flight in the 1980s. When it was listed for sale earlier this year, the home received international attention from media outlets like CNN, UPI and The Sun because its unique angled stone exterior and sloped roof led to the nickname that has made the home famous across Houston and beyond.
The home was originally listed at $4.3 million and received interest from high-profile celebrities like rapper and recent Houston transplant Curtis James Jackson III, a.k.a. 50 Cent. However, the asking price was reduced to just under $3.1 million in October, marking a 28% reduction.
Martha Turner Sotheby's International Realty did not disclose the final sale price.
