Redefine Luxury in River Oaks

This penthouse listing in River Oaks will have you living your best life.

The River Oaks, a luxury high-rise, was designed with residents in mind. The creative team utilized local designers to make the priorities of residents not only heard but understood. The historic footprint of the building and greenspace was maintained while bringing the whole property up to the standards of Houston’s most discerning residents.

Famed interior designer Lauren Rottet designed the interiors of The River Oaks. Her vision was to create contemporary and warm residences with dark emollients, hardwoods, and warm limestone. “This rarefied property will form a unique bond with residents, much like great art does with collectors,” said Rottet.

Preserving a sense of neighborhood was the goal of architect Andre Landon, Vice President and Principal at EDI International, Inc. All units have grand corner living spaces that anchor the floor plans, and large terraces maintain an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. “We think the real magic is in creating exquisitely modern residences even as we preserve a sense of the River Oaks neighborhood.”

Listed by William Wheless of Wheless Realty, this River Oaks penthouse offers floor to ceiling views with incredible natural light. There are over 1,000 square feet of covered patio, and the unit has three bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. An oversized media room offers the opportunity for a fourth bedroom, and there is a large bar for entertaining with gas fireplaces throughout.

The River Oaks is located on three acres of property in the heart of Houston and boasts five-star level service and amenities including two resort-style pools, a pet grooming spa and dog park, massage therapy room, yoga/Pilates studio, fitness center with Peloton bikes, private conference rooms, valet parking, and concierge.
