This STUNNING home sits on 3 acres and truly WOW's from the street with its curb appeal! Nestled in the heart of Katy but with a quiet country community setting, you will forget you are still in the city! Look at the fabulous mature trees greeting you as you and your guests drive onto the property. This is when you know you found the place to call HOME!
Just before the dusk hours it is always such a beautiful and peaceful sight. As the sun begins to set, the sky can be painted with a beautiful array of colors. The fresh landscape surrounding the home takes on a unique beauty as the shadows grow longer and the light changes. The brick and stone provide classic details, and the metal roof adds a touch of modern design, that boasts beauty, durability and longevity!
This charming estate home sits on a fully gated 3 acres surrounded by trees and is particularly awesome when viewed from above! The expansive property provides ample space for the home, gardens, and other outdoor features, like the HUGE auto-court that leads to the oversized 4-car attached garage, offering privacy and security too!
The large porte-cochere is not only a beautiful entry for guests and family, but so functional protecting you from Houston’s inclement weather! It provides a covered area for vehicles to park, as well as a grand entrance to the home. It also adds to the aesthetic appeal of the property, with a gorgeous hanging chandelier, sconce lighting, large columns and elegant design.
Double iron entry doors with privacy glass graces the covered front porch attached to the porte-cochere and is adorned with arched windows and coach lighting creating a stately and welcoming entrance. Let's open the door and take a tour!
The grand entryway is a breathtaking space that leaves a lasting impression on anyone who enters. As you step through the elegant double doors, you're greeted by an expansive welcoming space that exudes sophistication and elegance. Is the first thing that catches your eye the stunning custom stained-glass windows above, the gorgeous stained wood trim, the beautifully designed staircase in the foyer ahead, or maybe the dual MUD closets complete with hooks and shelves for all of your guests’ coa
Stepping into the foyer, and looking back towards the front entry showcases the beautiful hardwood floors, arched wood trimmed walkways, custom wood-stained plantation shutters in the entry, sconce lighting, 2 additional coat closets, and just every little detail that went into creating this fabulous custom home! This home even offers a central vac system to help keep things clean!
Just off the foyer to the right is a gorgeous formal dining room that connects to the kitchen. This room boasts hardwood flooring, double crown molding, plantation shutters, and a locked silver closet with floor safe storage creates a beautiful and functional space for entertaining guests and storing valuable entertaining items. It is a great addition to a home for those who value style, practicality and security.
Just off the dining room, your custom kitchen awaits you! Creamy white cabinets and a large wood accent island with pendant lighting creates a warm and inviting look! You will soon find out why this kitchen is a chef’s dream, and will for sure be the HUB of the home!
Walking around the kitchen you will see 2 warming drawers, microwave, double ovens - one being a convection oven, dishwasher and a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer! On the island you will find a built-in veggie steamer, vegetable prep sink and induction cooktop, built into the front of the island are refrigerator drawers and ample cabinets and drawers! Once again, no detail has been overlooked!
Tucked over in the left corner is a custom built-in desk, perfect for meal planning or checking email! Next to that space is the breakfast room complete with two pantries – a service pantry and a dry pantry, or whatever storage space you need!
Just off the breakfast room and kitchen is a HUGE laundry room with a sunny disposition! There is plenty of room for folding clothes, a prep sink for stubborn stains, and TONS of cabinets for storage! It is also connected to the 4-car garage for easy access unloading groceries or loading to go on vacation!
The opposite view shows space for an additional refrigerator or freezer, a convenient MUD bench with hooks and even more cabinets for storage! There is even a fold down ironing board, and next to that a powder bath with easy access to the garage and outdoor space!
Back in the foyer, to the left this time, you are drawn to the wonderful parlor with custom built-ins and a stone fireplace that is the focal point of this room with its rustic charm! This home is an entertainer's dream! Just imagine 4 big comfy chairs circled around a coffee table, and everyone putting together a puzzle or enjoying conversation over a brandy or glass of wine! Or, maybe a baby grand piano for the musicians of the family, a beautiful study or reading room! The choice is yours!
Connected to the parlor is this FANTASTIC wet bar area complete with glass front cabinets for storing wine glasses, high balls, or other glass and entertaining ware! There is also plenty of space for serving drinks and oeuvres while your friends and family enjoy the roaring fire!
Also featured in this fabulous design is a bar sink, wine frig, beverage refrigerator, and a Sub-Zero sonic ice maker for creating the perfect beverage for guests! This is for sure the entertainer’s dream party space!
The wet bar area you just viewed, is tucked between the parlor and this game room with stone fireplace! Patterned carpet that is oh so soft underfoot, and solid wood doors will help in making the clashing of balls on the pool table not make too much noise, or maybe it's the sounds of teens playing video games, or children playing you want to escape! Whatever your needs are, this downstairs game room can meet them!
This home is ideal for entertaining, especially with these three rooms centrally located, keeping everyone connected and enjoying the fun! One wall of this room features custom built-in storage, with closets, cabinets, and the two large panels contain hidden queen-sized Murphy beds! An attached full bathroom makes this the perfect place for extra guests or grandkids!
And just like that you are the coolest person around! Murphy beds are such a great way to maximize the space and invite people over to stay awhile! Perfect for out-of-town guests, live-in help, or a college student home for the holidays! We think slumber parties with access to their own bathroom and refrigerator is genius!
The full-sized bath attached to the entertaining and game room spaces features a double sink vanity with lots of storage and a walk-in shower, perfect for guests!
Step out of the game room, or out of the breakfast room into this massive 40 x 20 family room! Perfect for spending time with loved ones or entertaining guests and neighbors for the big game! Put a large TV on the wall, add a HUGE sectional, and a casual dining table and let the relaxing begin!
The rich and warm atmosphere is enhanced by the beautiful wood floors, which add a touch of natural beauty and elegance to the space. They offer a durable and practical surface, making it easy to maintain and keep clean. They also add a cozy and rustic touch to the space, creating a comfortable and homey ambiance. Wait until you see what's behind the double doors! (Virtually staged)
Surprise! An outdoor kitchen located inside the home, complete with travertine floors, Wolf gas grill, lighted vent hood, warming drawers and storage space! A charming brick wall creates interest and a door gives you direct access to the covered patio area overlooking the backyard space!
On the reverse side of this casual cooking space, you will find a sink, beverage refrigerator, another sonic ice machine and a fabulous place to serve drinks while enjoying the outdoors, indoors!
WOW! This home features the possibility for a primary bedroom on both floors! This one is quite spacious and includes space for a bedroom with a home office, sitting area or cozy reading nook! It also features a walk-in closet and full-sized bath. The previous owner used this as his expansive office space, but the possibilities are endless!
The room is graced with patterned carpet, recessed lighting, chandeliers separating what could serve as two spaces in one, double crown molding and gorgeous custom stained-glass double doors! Just through the door is the full-sized bathroom.
The full-sized bathroom features a dual-sink vanity, cabinets and drawers for storage, and a large linen tower for additional storage. A glass-enclosed shower tucked in the corner near the window allows for a peaceful way to end the day! Plantation shutters allow you to control the natural light and add privacy too!
Once upstairs, you will arrive at this wonderful landing area with the beautiful stain glass windows as the shining stars! Upstairs features 2 secondary bedrooms, a primary suite, a nursery or study, a HUGE workroom and Texas basement!
At the top of the stairs you will find this hidden gem! A built-in cedar closet has many benefits from being a natural repellent for moths and insects, to storing linens and towels, winter apparel, athletic equipment and shoes. The cedar helps keep your shoes and gear smell fresh because it prevents the growth of mold and mildew.
A second primary suite option lies to the left when you walk up the stairs. There are so many choices with the layout of this home! Each room is very spacious and ready for a new resident to make it their own. Let's take a peek through that open door...
An amazing California closet will for sure be a wow factor in this room! Tons of storage perfectly made for this space, complete with a center island for packing or folding! A separate locked jewelry closet is also featured in this primary suite!
The primary en-suite features 2 separate dual-sink vanities (only one shown here), a separate knee space vanity for preparing for the day (located directly behind the vanity shown), ample drawers and cabinets for storage! The other dual-sink vanity, just like this one, is on the other side, for the dual morning rush hour! And, to the left is an oversized glass enclosed shower with bench seat and rain-head shower, offering solitude after a long day!
Or, maybe you prefer the privacy this soaking tub offers? We tend to love the bubbles too! This home also has two bidets, one in each potential primary suite, keeping everyone tidy and clean!
Just off the primary suite, you will find this lovely bonus room. It would make a great home office, nursery, or work-out room with direct access to the primary suite through the bathroom. Custom built-ins for books and what not! It would make a great reading room as well with views overlooking the mature trees in the front of the home!
Back to the center, next to the cedar closet, you will find another hidden gem behind a locked door for added security. The upstairs boasts a fantastic flex space that was used for holiday storage, wrapping presents, and crafting! This is seriously every crafter, decorator and hosts’ dream! Oh the possibilities!
You could make this an art studio, yoga studio, workout room, media room, home office, and the list goes on and on! Through the door is a walk-in Texas basement (attic) for additional storage should you need it!
To the right of the staircase and bonus room, you will find two secondary bedrooms. They are both very spacious with Plantation shutters, arched windows, recessed lighting & crown molding! We have to admit these rooms are bigger than most primary suites, so residents may overstay their welcome!
Each secondary bedroom is identical, so there will be no quarreling over who gets the better bedroom! They each have a custom built-in desk area with shelving, and two large closets – one for clothing and one for shoes, games, and whatever else needs to be stored! How is that for storage space?
A full-size Hollywood-style bathroom with dual sink vanity, and gorgeous granite countertops that adorn white cabinets, offers ample storage for all!
Tucked away behind a door for added privacy and functionality is a glass-enclosed shower with bench seat, and a linen tower for additional storage.
This is the identical second bedroom to first one shown! You have to feel this carpet to understand just how comfy it is on your feet, it's like walking on clouds!
Back downstairs, an oversized garage fit for a king! A 4-car garage with extended sides, TONS of built-in cabinets for storage space, epoxy floors and two different height garage doors for boats or special vehicles, is all offered here!
As you open the gate to your property through the automatic gate, you drive under the porte-cochere and curve around to this amazing area where the 4 car garage is and plenty of parking for residents and guests!
This home just beams with pride in the dusk hours and everything settles down for the evening! Isn't it just heavenly peaceful?
This home offers a covered porch overlooking the backyard with access through the door to the garage!
A view of the back of the home shows it is surrounded by wonderfully mature trees and plenty of greenspace for volleyball, horseshoes, or flag football when the family comes to town!
As the light fades, the decorative lighting begins to come to life, illuminating the property in a warm and welcoming glow. The soft light casts a golden hue on the home and its large oak trees, creating a magical and charming atmosphere! Imagine installing your very own garden style pool with spa, and spending evenings looking at the unencumbered stars in the sky!
A HUGE auto-court can be used in various ways! Do you have dreams of hosting events at your home like Texas sized crawfish boils, or maybe you just want to have a one-on-one game of basketball with your friends or family! This is outdoor living at its best!
