Welcome to 5355 Mandell, in historic Boulevard Oaks! This home was custom built for the current owner in 1988 with quality and thoughtful design in every room. Solid bones on this traditional Georgian home!
A sweeping hardwood staircase and exquisite chandelier greets you as you enter the formal foyer, with custom-laid marble tile. Double doors seen here open to the downstairs study.
You can't find mahogany paneling like this anymore! Floor-to-ceiling built in bookcases and a hidden closet are features in this formal study.
On the other side of the foyer is the formal dining room, featuring a sparkling Schonbek chandelier. This generously sized room has plenty of space for a large dining table and memorable dinner parties.
The dowstairs powder room features a Sherle Wagner sink with matching faucet and a marble vanity. Additionally, this is a full bath with a convenient downstairs shower!
Through the arched opening from the foyer, we enter the grand living room area. Built-in glass shelving with decorator lighting, hardwood dentil molding (throughout the home on both floors!), custom millwork fireplace surround and mantle, french doors and and 10' ceilings make this beautiful room the heart of the home.

This kitchen has a great layout and is just waiting for your personal cosmetic touches.

Serene breakfast room with windows overlooking the side yard and patio.
Upstairs, we find this massive master suite, a blank canvas to become a true retreat. At 17 x 29 ft, this room has plenty of space for bedroom furniture, a sitting room space, or even a master bath expansion.
This upstairs study open to both the master bedroom (seen in photo) and the hallway. Would also make a great nursery.
This dressing room with Hollywood-style vanity and entry to bath area and closet has so many possibilities for closet and/or bath expansion! This master bath could be a showstopper!
Spa tub with marble surround, flooring, and countertop. Separate water closet with bidet, and separate shower, plus a second entrance into the large closet.

All of the secondary bedrooms are very generously sized. This front bedroom has an en-suite bath.
En-suite bath with vanity opening and door to tub/shower combo and toilet.
Front bedroom #2. Shares a Hollywood bath with bedroom #3.
Secondary bedroom #3, for four total upstairs. This one faces the backyard and overlooks the pool.
Hollywood bath shared by two secondary bedrooms, each with a long counter space and sink and a shared tub/shower and toilet.
Back downstairs and around the back, a guest suite with a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. This room would make a great playroom or pool house, or could be quarters for a full-time nanny.
This large pool looks so inviting! Resurfaced in 2017 and very well-maintained, this will be your summer respite from the heat! Note entrance to guest quarters full bathroom under the green awning. A convenient pool bath keeps wet feet out of the main house!
A broad patio, two gazebos, and plenty of space for outdoor entertaining!
So unusual for this area, 5355 Mandell sits on over 15,000 of land. Currently used as an extra-long driveway for overflow parking, much of this area could easily be reclaimed as grassy yard space under the mature oak tree.
Welcome home!Stately Georgian style in an idyllic setting, right in the tree-lined heart of the Museum District. Steps away from Rice University and less than a mile from the Houston Medical Center. This home was custom built for the current owner by Lovett Partnerships, and what an opportunity to make it your own! Marble entry, soaring 10 ft+ ceilings, exquisite millwork, huge kitchen/breakfast room area, formal living and dining. Side patio with mature, leafy trees provide a serene, protected escape, and back patio with gazebo and pool (resurfaced in 2017*) for fun in the sun. Guest suite in back has its own entrance and exit with full bath. Master upstairs is enormous with a sitting area and an adjoining study, with extra large closet and dressing room. Three additional bedrooms up. Three recent HVAC systems (2017 and 2018*) and hot water heaters (2019*). This home has been lovingly cared for and fastidiously maintained, all that's left to add are your cosmetic touches! *per Seller
