Welcome to an updated, two-story townhome at Sage on the Bayou. This is an established townhome community only minutes from The Galleria, Memorial Park and Downtown
This community is unique, all the townhomes are different in style and size. It does not have a "cookie cutter" effect. There is an interesting and charming feel to the area.
You enter thru the wrought-iron gate and follow the pebble walk up past the garage to the property front door. The over-sized, detached garage to the right, has a covered walkway to the house and there is greenery in the front and side beds.
To the right of the entry is a wet bar with plantation shutters, quartzite counters, stainless steel bar sink, ice maker, space wired for a wine refrigerator, glass display walnut cabinets, brick floors, under the counter lighting with glass tile backsplash and a skylight above.
The two-story living room with its dramatic two-story brick, wood burning fireplace makes quite the effect upon guests. The fireplace is flanked with custom built-ins on both sides and there are glass French doors to one of the two atriums.
The first atrium off of the living room is the perfect setting for numerous plants or a water feature or outdoor sculpture or twinkle lights galore or whatever moves the new owner. There is exterior lighting and a lot of glass windows and doors.
Step down from the living area to the dining room that opens to the hallway and the second atrium. This continuous flow along with the two-story ceiling in the living area gives the impression that this area is cavernous. The second atrium has two glass enclosed sides that allows for an abundance of natural light 
Another view from the rear of the dining room looking out into the main living area and the second atrium. This is definitely NOT a typical townhome floor plan. The openess is refreshing and gives an almost regal feeling to the property.
A closer look at the second atrium (which is the smaller of the two) that is adjacent to the dining area and has large windows into the primary bedroom. Another great source of natural light.
From the living area step down into the gleaming, updated kitchen. The two large windows allow for lots of light that makes this a bright and cheerful room . The floors are wood-like tile for easy maintenance. And there is so much storage space in this cabinetry.
The large island with an over-sized sink, dishwasher, quartzite counter and storage drawers still allows space for a breakfast table if desired.There is pendant lighting above the island and a contemporary hanging light as well as under the counter lighting.
The refrigerator stays. The quartzite counters have tile backsplash and the cooktop is electric.
Behind these tall cabinets are the washer/dryer connections with hanging space and shelving - neatly tucked away and out of sight.
First floor hallway powder room. The half door on the left has additional storage space under the staircase. There is really no wasted space in this townhome.
Looking down from the loft area above into the expansive living area. The window shades on the second level are controlled by remotes. This loft area can function as any number of rooms - gameroom, Family room, in-home office, etc
This additional flexible space has three skylights, a wall of built-ins, carpeted floors and a doorway out to the really BIG roof top deck.
Another view looking into this second floor space that can be used to fit any number of buyer needs.
This is the roof top deck! Imagine twinkle lights hung everywhere, someone cooking at the barbeque pit, casual tables with seating and LOTS of friends milling about. Great entertaining space.
Another view looking back at the doorway of the second floor loft area that gives access to the deck.
The second floor has two secondary bedrooms and a full bath. The bedrooms are a good size and each has two closets - one walk-in and the other a large wall closet. Both have plantation shutters and carpeted floors.
These two secondary bedrooms (one a soft green and the other a light blue) are located at the rear of the house. This photo shows the combined space from the two closets that both bedrooms have.
Another view of the light blue secondary bedroom.
Second floor bathroom is located between the two bedrooms. It has a large tub with shower, wallpapered walls, oversized tile floors, double sinks and a private toilet.
The first floor primary bedroom is quite large with new carpeting, glass French doors with a covered awning out to the back green space and two windows looking out into the second atrium. There is no shortage of light in this property.
This is a great primary bathroom. Double sinks, loads of drawer space, built-ins, private toilet and tile floors. And there is more ...... see the next photo...........
Look at this shower! Pebble stone floor, built-in bench, various shower heads and all this space. There are also two walk-in closets with hanging space, shelving and both have built-ins.
This is the back space off of the primary bedroom.
The property is easy to show and is in very good condition. It has been well-maintaned and has so many features that fit the needs of a large portion of the buyers out looking.This property has so much to offer. It is in an established neighborhood that feels more like a private retreat. The property has been updated with materials that today's buyers want, it has over 3k Sq Ft of livable space on two floors with an outstanding roof top deck and the location is minutes away from The Galleria and Downtown. In addition, there are large windows and numerous skylights that flood the interior with natural light. Upon entering the home there is a large two story tall living room that is highlighted by the 2 story brick wood burning fireplace, very dramatic. It opens to an atrium through glass French doors and has a step down into the updated kitchen, dining room and hallway to the primary suite. Upstairs is the loft like gameroom or home office or den that is open to the downstairs living room and also to the expansive roof top deck. There is much more to see and appreciate in this property.
