Dream Home in River Oaks
A majestic masterpiece for discerning clientele, this Al Ross-designed home is a newly constructed residence in a prime locale within River Oaks, a neighborhood called home by some of the most affluent residents in Houston.
When entering Arabella Manor, you are immediately transported to an environment of opulence and grandeur reminiscent of a 16th-century chateau. This 7,935 sq. ft., 3-story home combines handsome elegance and beautiful finishes with sophisticated, smart technology for an unmatched living environment. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow gorgeous natural light to illuminate the home, complementing the elegant wall castings, Venetian plaster, marble accents, intricate crown molding, and latticed ceilings. A formal dining room, powder room, and den lead to a wet bar featuring a 300-bottle mahogany wine rack.
Anyone who loves entertaining will be enthralled with the kitchen in this home. It features Miele appliances, a speed oven, a freezer and refrigerator, each 30 inches, wine storage with 3 temperature zones, a dishwasher with LED lighting, a warming drawer for plating, a warming tray for coffee cups, and a whole bean coffee system. Smart Home technology and an iPad control allow you to simplify tasks for your convenience. Just off the kitchen is the spacious great room with recessed lighting, a gas fireplace, and a wall of sliding glass panels that creates perfect harmony between the indoor atmosphere and outdoor elements, leading to the pool.
A beautiful winding staircase or elevator takes you to the second and third stories of the home, with the higher levels being as breathtaking as the first. The master suite includes a large bedroom, a sitting room, and a double-sided fireplace. A plush, spa-inspired bathroom offers a deep soaking tub, an oversized shower with multiple showerheads, and a fogless mirror. Two water closets and his and her sinks add to the comfort of this gorgeous oasis. The pièce de résistance is his and her boutique closets. Lighted cabinetry, shelving, an abundance of storage, an island, and USB outlets provide all the convenience and opulence one could ever desire.
The top floor of the house is where your creativity can flourish. The space can be turned into any of a variety of options: office, game room, media room, guest room, or a home gym. The space is outfitted with a full bath and shower as well as a wet bar.
A pool, spa, 3-car garage with guest or maid’s quarters make this one of River Oaks’ most distinctive properties.
