Nan and Company Properties is proud to present an architectural gem in Houston’s prestigious River Oaks neighborhood: the residence at 4004 Inverness Drive. Designed in 1974 by the acclaimed Houston architect Charles Tapley, this mid-century modern masterpiece has been meticulously renovated to blend its original charm with contemporary luxury.
A Legacy Preserved
When the current owners acquired this property, it was in need of significant repairs, leading many to consider demolition. However, recognizing the home’s architectural significance, they embarked on a thoughtful renovation in collaboration with interior designer Laura Umansky. The result is a harmonious blend of Tapley’s original vision and modern design elements.
Exquisite Features and Amenities
Spanning 7,473 square feet on a sprawling 1-acre lot, the home offers:
-
Four to five spacious bedrooms and over five bathrooms, providing ample space for family and guests.
-
A gourmet kitchen featuring wood cabinets, quartzite countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances, seamlessly combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.
-
A luxurious primary suite with expansive windows leading to a private terrace, offering serene views of the meticulously landscaped grounds.
-
A 50×16-foot in-ground swimming pool accompanied by a newly constructed pool pavilion and private bath, perfect for relaxation and entertaining.
- Access to a private tennis court through a unique lease agreement, catering to sports enthusiasts.
Modern Upgrades
The renovation introduced several modern enhancements while preserving the home’s mid-century essence:
-
A full-house generator ensures uninterrupted comfort.
-
An electric car charging outlet caters to eco-conscious homeowners.
-
Energy-efficient features have been integrated throughout, promoting sustainability without compromising luxury.
A Testament to Timeless Design
Jim Parsons, program director at Preservation Houston, praised the renovation, stating, “In a time when too many architecturally significant homes are being lost to out-of-scale new construction, this project is a reminder that great design can evolve.”
