Welcome to 24 Grand Manor, an elegant and timeless Mediterranean style home.
This home is located in the exclusive, gated section of Sweetwater, known as Sweetwater Estates. It sits on over an acre of land and was built by Chris Sims.
We've thrown the doors wide open to welcome you into this beautiful home.
The architectural detail is subtle and distinct and the views, both interior and exterior are stunning.
The formal living room is the first lovely room you'll see.
Ceilings soar and light pours in through the wall of windows. There's a cast stone fireplace, one of 3 in the home.
The gentle curve of this staircase is exquisite and the custom made railings line the stairs. Look down the beautifully arched galley to the rooms ahead.
The formal dining area adjoins the living room for a beautiful flow.Travertine tile throughout this area is a design accent.
Enjoy your views to the living room and the lovely outdoors.
Situated across from the dining area is the wine room.
Although not climate controlled, it's the perfect place to open your favorite bottle and enjoy a quiet visit.
The family room is as warm and cozy as can be. You'll find the second of three fireplaces located here and a built in space for your TV. And that ceiling!!
The family room is open to the kitchen and will be the center of your family's gatherings.
This oh, so spacious kitchen would be a delightful space for anyone to cook in!! The counter space!! The cabinets!! It's a dream.

In the game room you'll find windows overlooking the pool area below. Beyond the open doors is a separate media room.
The projector and screen will remain in the home. All other furniture is available for sale.
One of the loveliest of areas is this outdoor covered loggia.From it you have views of the pool, the manicured and lush backyard and the beautiful lawns on the side of the home. Just beyond the loggia is the exercise room.
Exercise in your own private area, located between the garage and the main house. This is an air conditioned space.
Simply gorgeous is this free form pool with flowing fountains and a raised deck.
The size of the home (over 8300 square feet); the size of the lot (over an acre); the beauty of the setting all combine to make this a very special place.
Cascading fountains
Enjoy your own private slice of nature. Truly, the landscaping and the lovingingly cared for grounds are a step above.
The driveway court doubles as a basketball court! But wait until you see the unfinished, air conditioned space over the garage. It measures 38'x14' and is plumbed and ready to be completed. What a fantastic space for a home office, or for people staying in your home long term.
The iconic Sweetwater fountain sits at the entrance to the nearby (a brief walk) entrance to Sweetwater Country Club. With two 18 hole golf course, tennis, dining and exercise facilities, it's a perfect addition to life in Sugar Land.
The Pecan and Cypress courses are Sweetwater's best.
As the sun begins to set, you'll relish your time spent on the beautiful loggia!
