Homes that enchant us with their glamour and sensuous appointments are rare. This elegant Neo-Classical French-style residence in Bayou Woods is one such extraordinary property, and surrounds residents and visitors with unparalleled luxury and extravagant delights that fire the imagination. A privacy wall encloses this gleaming white stucco and stone estate. Access is granted via an electronic entrance gate, and formal parterres and a charming stone fountain greet arrivals in the front motor court. Magnificent tall solid wood doors embellished with ormolu-style decoration and hardware open into the reception hall, splendidly appointed with an elaborately inlaid marble floor that is more art than floor, and a towering ceiling punctuated by a stained-glass dome above the serpentine staircase. A massive stone broken pediment crowns the front doors, and entrances to principle rooms are announced by pairs of marble Corinthian columns. Visible through an interior vista across the enormous open living room and through a rear wall of tall butted glass, the expansive inlaid marble terraces, inviting pool and gardens form an arresting backdrop.A second set of tall solid doors leads into the paneled study, appointed with floor-to-ceiling illuminated book and display cabinets and an intricately laid hardwood floor. The dining room also flanks the reception hall and features reproduction boiserie ornamented with gilt and delicate Rococo motifs. A built-in sideboard and cabinets provide ease of service. The light-filled living room is also enhanced with delicately painted boiserie as well as a baronial marble double-front fireplace with marble overmantel, and a trompe l’œil plaster ceiling medallion. A fully equipped bar is conveniently positioned between the formal rooms.The classical floorplan divides the ground level space into public and private wings. In the public wing, the living room blends into the equally impressive family room which shares the double-front fireplace and rear wall of butted glass. Arched recessed display cabinets line the wall where the family room extends into the inviting kitchen and breakfast room.The island kitchen boasts uncommonly distinctive slab marble surfaces, custom-designed and painted cabinetry, stove hood, and paneled SubZero refrigerator and freezer with bonnet; a raised breakfast bar with pull-up seating; inlaid ceramic and subway tile backsplash; Wolf range and double ovens; and custom-designed lighting. One of the most stunning rooms in this spectacular house is the sunny breakfast room, defined by a deep curve of butted glass and crowned by a double-height domed ceiling and a breathtakingly immense, ribbon-glass chandelier. Beyond the kitchen, service areas encompass a full bathroom to serve the pool; a home office; an elevator; the return staircase, mud room, side entrance and access to the five-car garage with two lifts; and a staff bedroom with a private bathroom.The opulent master suite occupies the entire private wing, and is secluded from the public spaces at the end of a barrel-vault marble-floored hallway. Guarded by tall solid wood doors, the bedroom enjoys intricately designed hardwood floors, an arched wall recess for the bed, and a delicately painted built-in cabinet with bonnet top. Tall glass-paned doors lead to the suite’s private walled garden with formal parterres, pebble paths, fountains, and water courses.The absolutely glorious master bathroom has fine cabinetry inspired by Second Empire designs and provides beautifully engineered privacy and space with pairs of gilded sinks, glass and marble showers, and water closets. Amenities include mirrored walls with sconces; a double-height, groin-vault ceiling with delicate painting and clerestory windows; sculpted marble surfaces; an inlaid marble floor with huge central medallion; and a raised jetted tub beneath a window overlooking the privat

The vintage Craftsman home in Audubon Place, a historic district within Houston’s Montrose neighborhood, presents historic charm enhanced and improved by thoughtful, targeted renovation and selective modern updating. The house was purchased in 2002 and restored by a husband and wife team of attorneys with a penchant for historical home projects. During 2011, Dillon Kyle, AIA, and Windham Builders added a master bedroom wing. During renovations, the home was moved from its existing foundation to allow for the construction of a replacement pier and beam foundation. The original stucco exterior was removed and replaced with a dual profile HardiePlank siding in keeping with existing Arts and Crafts homes in the neighborhood. Following a stone pattern found in several vintage Houston churches, cut Texas limestone was used for the chimney, porch steps and foundation base. The inviting front porch was floored with TenduraPlank designed to be largely impervious to the Gulf coast climate. State-of-the-art systems include a Crestron whole-house sound system and B&W ceiling speakers; Panasonic commercial-grade telephone and voice mail systems; home computer network and Dell file server; Denon surround sound home theater system in family room with B&W 800 Series speakers; copper wiring; security system with contacted windows, motion and glass breakage detectors, video cameras and DVR, and cell phone and battery backup features; Unico high-velocity HVAC systems; solar array, heat pump units and tankless water heaters; steel framing; and sound attenuation materials used in constructing the master suite.Original Arts and Crafts features of the interior were preserved and restored where possible or replaced with period reproduction finishes such as quarter-sawn white oak floors, trim and cabinetry; mahogany doors and windows; period reproduction tiles; and restoration glass (front windows only). Antique stained glass windows, not original to the house but of the period, add additional Arts and Crafts flavor.The floorplan has been beautifully adapted for modern living with open access from the light-filled foyer into the parlor, dining room and central hall. The dining room is particularly impressive with a reproduction Arts and Crafts fireplace flanked by glass-front cabinets and stained glass windows. T he central hall opens into the kitchen embellished with soapstone and subway tile surfaces, English farmhouse-style sink, paneled refrigerator and freezer, and commercial-grade, stainless-steel appliances. The breakfast room has a built-in buffet and cabinets, and the adjoining library/den has a beamed ceiling, a wall of bookcases and cabinets, and access to the patio and gardens.On the second level, the original house/restoration meets the master bedroom addition, a surprisingly Contemporary two-story expansion (a carport occupies the first level) that works perfectly to complement the existing structure. The large bedroom has a double-height shed ceiling with clerestory windows, two walls of furniture-quality book shelves with media and storage cabinets, and a row of tall mahogany and glass doors accessing the balcony. Double-height ceilings continue into the serene bathroom which features a hexagonal lagos azul limestone tile floor in shades of gray and moss-toned subway tile walls. Additional amenities include white porcelain sinks, opaque glass shower, soaking tub, private water closet, and a walk-in closet with built-in chests-of-drawers, dressing table, and wardrobes built from quarter-sawn white oak.Offering convenience with a location close to the master suite, the laundry room also offers the luxury of a wine chiller and a refrigerator with a freezer drawer. Large secondary bedrooms are served by a large hall bath appointed with a black and white period-style tile floor, a glass enclosure shower, and a white porcelain sink with
