Welcome to 5528 Grand Lake Street, a stunning Bellaire new construction designed by Refuge Studio Architects and built by acclaimed Elevate Development - as featured in the 2023 HOUSTON MODERN HOME TOUR.
FRONT PORCH: The curb appeal of the home immediately catches the eye with the gabled roof line and a pleasing combination of building materials. Elevate strive for beauty, architectural interest and originality in all their homes therefore being selected as one of several homes out of thousands to feature in the prestigious 2023 Modern Home Tour.
ENTRY. With creative millwork, custom lighting and a stunning glass/iron front door, the entry of the home sets the tone of what to expect as you walk into this stunning home.
GREAT ROOM (23x24) Aptly named, the Great Room wows every person when they first walk into this living space. With soaring 22'8 foot ceilings and double height windows, this room is truly spectacular. Anchored by a fireplace with floor to ceiling chimney. The heart of the home and a showstopper.
GREAT ROOM with Heatilator Crave 72" Modern Fireplace. This room puts the Grand into Grand Lake!
LIVING/DINING. Designed for modern, easy living, the living, dining and kitchen areas flow seamlessly into one another with clean lines, high ceilings and an abundance of natural light with views out over the back yard along the entire length of the home. Note the European White Oak engineered hardwoods throughout the home. 7.5" extra wide plank in Denali Whitewash.
Looking back towards the dining and kitchen. Note the ceiling height change as you enter the dining and kitchen spaces for a more intimate feel. Contrasting beams are yet another example of the architectural interest and extra level of detail that have gone into this home.
DINING (19x18). Centrally located between the kitchen and living areas this area EASILY accommodates a 8-12 seater table but can readily be a 6 seater for every day family mealtimes.
The builder has brought the concept of seamless indoor/outdoor living to Grand Lake with expansive sliding glass doors which open out onto a huge 521sf covered outdoor deck, a striking home feature inspired by Australian architecture and design.
KITCHEN (20 x 15). Featuring WilsonArt custom made, high performance cabinetry with custom door panelling for dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer. Monogram stainless appliance package. Spec book available.
KITCHEN. Magnificent Calacatta Miragio Gold Quartz countertops with waterfall edge complimented by custom pendant lighting.
KITCHEN. The clever and thoughtful design continues in the kitchen with this window which opens up to the outdoor grill area making the passing and serving of food a breeze.
BACKYARD COVERED PATIO (34 x 12). Elevate Texas warm summer evenings and weekend BBQ's by enjoying this expansive 521sf outdoor living space. Or rug up in the winter time with cups of hot chocolate and smores.
OUTDOOR PATIO. The patio is so spacious it easily accommodates both a large dining table and a soft seating area. Note the cedar wrapped supports and accented ceiling. Every detail of this home was carefully considered.
OUTDOOR KITCHEN. Artisan Alfresco 36" outdoor grill with double access doors and sink.
Looking back into the home from the outdoor patio. Stunning.
WET BAR. In true Grand Lake design style, the wet bar and wine storage area is a cut above what you will normally find in most new homes. WilsonArt cabinetry continues with an abundance of additional cabinet space. GE Monogram 129 bottle wine fridge. Custom glass sliding door.
HOME OFFICE/BED FIVE (14 x 13) Situated on the first floor, this room makes an ideal home office but with an attached full bath it can easily be converted into a first floor bedroom for guests.
POWDER ROOM/BATHROOM FOUR. Accessible from both the study and the main living areas, this bathroom was cleverly designed to be dual purpose. The interior design flair is clear to see even in this space with contrasting warm toned wood cabinetry contrasting with dramatic black shower tile.
STAIRWELL TO SECOND FLOOR. The clean lines of the home continue as we walk up to the second floor. Wrought iron railings, custom lighting and a feature window which floods the stairwell with natural light.
PRIMARY SUITE ACCESS. Truly deserving of being called an suite, the expansive primary bedroom area features both a sitting area, coffee bar and luxurious bathroom akin to a luxury penthouse hotel suite.
PRIMARY BEDROOM. (17x 17). Situated at the West facing back of the home for both peace and privacy. 
PRIMARY SUITE SITTING AREA. The intricate millwork and stunning interior design has turned this space off the primary bedroom into a work of art. Use as a sitting area, extra home office space or a spot for the peloton.
PRIMARY BATHROOM (16 x 12). Could have been lifted straight out of LUXE magazine with a pleasing color palette of white and grey, large and small tilework, plain and patterned. EVERY detail was carefully thought through.
PRIMARY BATHROOM. A shower big enough for the whole family! Or soak in the stand alone tub and check out the Texan night sky.
PRIMARY BATHROOM. Separated double sinks so each person has their own personal space.
PRIMARY CLOSET. One of two with custom built in storage
BEDROOM TWO. Located in the south east corner of the home with it's own full bathroom so is ideally private for guests.

BATHROOM THREE
BEDROOM FOUR
GAME/MEDIA ROOM. Thoughtfully located at the front of home, this room has great separation from the primary bedroom so family members can stay up, watch TV and not disturb anyone. Also, being it's own self contained space, this makes for the perfect playroom as it can be messy but you won't have to see it or walk through it to reach bedrooms, as is the design in many other homes.
BACKYARD. With a generous 8750sf lot, in addition to the expansive covered outdoor patio, the yard can accommodate both pool and greenspace. Buyer to verify pool capability. 
Being a little further out, the peace and quiet is notable. No constant hum of freeways. It's so quiet you can literally hear the breeze rustling through the trees. Yet hop in the car and you are onto 610 and 59 within minutes.
POOL RENDERING. The back yard offers the best of all worlds. Space for your 21 x 18 feet pool (per Platinum Pools), green space and a covered deck that can easily fit outdoor dining and seating. Pool install is NOT included in the price.
NEIGHBORHOOD. 5528 Grand Lake sits on a unique horseshoe street in Bellaire. With bigger lots, it is leafy and green with mature trees and a feeling of space.
BELLAIRE CITY. Bellaire is a city within a city and is proud to have it's own police and fire department. As a resident you can enjoy many facilities including several parks dotted around the neighborhood.
BELLAIRE POOLS. Bellaire residents enjoy community pools for lane swimming and splash pads for the kids.
BELLAIRE PARKS
