Recalling an elegant French château, this majestic 15,000-square-foot manor on 1.5 acres adjoins a golf course in Houston’s landmark River Oaks neighborhood. This beautifully remodeled estate boasts ornate ironwork, limestone, custom boiserie and millwork, chevron-patterned parquetry, spectacular lighting, trompe l’oeil & tracery ceilings, and antique fireplaces. Refined living and dining rooms and a kitchen with superior appliances facilitate grand gatherings. One of five bedrooms, the owner’s suite includes dual baths, a two-level closet, and a private patio. A gym with a wet bar and built-in speakers is located on the third level, and staff or guest quarters are tucked above the three-car garage. Outdoors, a koi pond, two vine-draped pergolas, and a pool are enveloped by crape myrtles, weeping willows, oaks, and magnolias. Other highlights include an office, a game room, a garden room, a Savant system, biometric access, a safe room, water filtration, and a generator.
