Recognized as one of Houston’s most upscale neighborhoods, River Oaks is home to designer stores, gourmet restaurants and a collection of extraordinary estates. Flourished with oak trees and well-manicured lawns, the neighborhood is a dreamy residential area home to Houston’s wealthiest residents.  While the homes in the area may vary in architectural styles, all seem to sport original craftsmanship and stunning designs that reveal why River Oaks is one of the city’s most sought out neighborhoods. Adding to the list of estates we can only dream about is this 13,630-square-foot home located near Lazy Lane. Built in 2021, the home features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms and four partial bathrooms. Heading up to the home, visitors are greeted with a stunning French White cast stone exterior and massive glass windows. This home is an ideal space for entertaining with its expansive backyard pool and climate-controlled wine room. Here’s a closer look at the property. 

Once one has entered through double French doors, the grand impression of this home starts with the proportions of its limestone staircase. Tile flooring, double-height ceilings and large windows are other features of this striking hall. 

The home’s open floor plan expands into formal spaces, including its spacious dining room fit for entertaining fancy dinner parties. Natural light illuminates the space through large glass windows, while two chandeliers enhance the area for a luxurious touch.   

All entertainers need a spot to store their fine libations and what better place than a spacious wine room that can store up to 2,000 bottles of wine? Looking into the formal dining area, the climate-controlled wine room is one of the home’s most mesmerizing features as it is paneled with floor-to-ceiling walnut and diagonal box shelving cabinetry. 

The grand formal living room is a prime location to gather socially. Custom steel and glass double doors offer a view of the home’s outdoor pool and living area. The 17-foot ceiling, aged brass chandelier and gas fireplace further enhance the space. 

Conveniently located near the formal living space is the home’s open kitchen, which features a blend of stainless steel appliances and slab stone countertops. The kitchen’s massive island is the perfect hangout for guests as they sip on a collection of fine aged wines. 

For those looking for a more formal space in which to entertain, this bar is located in the center of the home and is a beautiful area built with custom white oak cabinetry, marble countertops and a brass bar sink. 

When hosts need a space to recharge, the home’s study is the ideal spot. White oak block paneling engulfs the space, while built-in shelves offer the perfect storage for a collection of must-read novels. 

Located on the first floor, the primary bedroom offers a stunning view of the backyard area. The space also features a vaulted ceiling and even a coffee bar vestibule. 

Flooded in marble, the primary bathroom is a gorgeous space for rest and relaxation. The freestanding copper and nickel bathtub is the room’s centerpiece. 

To further complement our daydream, let’s envision our dream wardrobe. Floor-to-ceiling storage dominates the walk-in closet and offers plenty of space for our designer coats, handbags- and other wardrobe essentials. 

The party continues outdoors in the home’s summer kitchen. A large patio space welcomes dance parties and other backyard festivities.   

It wouldn’t be the ultimate entertainment home without a large pool and spa area. The backyard offers numerous spots for sunbathing and plenty of space to relax in Houstonian luxury.
