Known for some of the most beautiful homes in Houston, the Memorial area boasts large lots with plenty of room to build a custom home or move into a stunning new construction masterpiece like this one at 881 Country Lane. Quiet streets, great schools, and their own police force make this part of Houston an ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, but is still close to enjoy everything without the headache of traffic.
Set upon nearly an acre, this expansive new construction home was designed by the lauded architectural firm, Mirador Group, which carefully calculated every detail of this 6-bedroom manse. Built for the family who adores cooking and entertaining, the kitchen features a grand, 13-foot cove ceiling and twin islands for cooking and prep space. The islands are made from gray-veined marble which invite casual dining around their perimeter. The 48 inch La Cornue gas range is any cook’s dream dressed in a pebble gray hue with gleaming accents of polished nickel. No luxury kitchen would be complete without a SubZero refrigerator and freezer, Wolf microwave, and Asko dishwasher all housed in the pristine, custom-built cabinetry. Of course, there’s a service kitchen for those catered fetes and a butler’s bar complete with a wine vault built to safeguard 450 bottles of your favorite vintages.
When the weather accommodates, cook outdoors on the loggia in a fully-equipped kitchen replete with recessed lighting, speakers, and a limestone-faced fireplace. Formal occasions spill into the dining room dressed with crown molding and a dual-sided hearth. Enter through one of the pretty arch entries and take a seat beneath the striking, gilded iron chandelier, or make your way to the formal living room beside it where the 12-foot ceiling soars to reveal a magnificent design inspired by an ancient cathedral in Prague.
Retreat through a double-door vestibule to the primary bedroom suite on the first floor where underfoot, you’ll discover wide plank white oak floors and above, a stunning Moorish-inspired relief rendered upon the ceiling. Natural light bathes the room each morning, beckoning you to enjoy a coffee in the quiet courtyard. The bath adjoining it is a lavish sanctuary accented with marble, a Roman shower with dual fixtures, separate vanities, soaking tub, drinks bar with chiller and three generous closets.
Take the elevator or tread up the elegant staircase to the second floor with four en suite bedrooms and game room wired for all your state-of-the-art electronics. This stunning home comes with so many amenities. Enjoy a private office/exercise room off of primary bedroom, a guest suite downstairs, mudroom, two laundry rooms (upstairs and down), two powder rooms and seven full baths, even a pet spa built with a doggie door that leads to a dog run for your pampered pooch.
