FIRST-FLOOR LIVING with a BACKYARD just steps away from River Oaks Shopping District in the shadow of Downtown Houston! This like-new recent construction masterpiece is the dream home you've been waiting for. Two-and-a-half stories with a huge game room and ELEVATOR CAPABLE, this one checks all the boxes. You don't need to settle for second-story living in order to be in the heart of the city, hauling groceries and supplies up and down stairs everyday, just to get the modern design and finish
The spacious lot offers plenty of room for gardening in front and back. A privacy gate offers security and peace while the oversized driveway provides off-street parking for up to four cars in addition to the spacious two-car garage. Note the depth of the balcony off the master suite overlooking the tree-lined streets of this charming, close-knit community.
Easy access to the backyard from the common area makes for easy grilling and seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. Plenty of space for dogs to run back and forth between the front gate and backyard - and a perfect layout for kids to play within the kitchen's line-of-sight. BONUS: pre-plumbed for direct gas grill hook-up!
The entry foyer opens up to the massive great room with high ceilings, abundant natural and recessed lighting, gleaming hardwood floors, and the finest contemporary fixtures. The flexible, open floorplan provides all the space you would need for any living configuration - two living rooms, two dining rooms, extra-large furnishings, grand piano... the options are endless.
The gas log fireplace adds warmth and charm to the clean and sleek design of this brilliant layout, and two built-in dry bars (the one to the right of the fireplace features a wine cooler) make entertaining friends and family effortless. Built-in glass china cabinets over the dry bar in the great room allow you to show off your crystal and china with contemporary elegance.
A true open-concept floorplan, the dining room and living room seamlessly flow naturally into the kitchen making luxurious living and entertaining a breeze. While a chandelier anchors the current dining room, the brilliance of this floorplan allows for this space (located just off the backyard) to be a second living room, since the abundant space between the front foyer and the kitchen could easily accommodate a dining room and formal living space together. 
The oversized island kitchen features a huge quartz slab offering bar seating for 4-6 people without interfering in the chef's space, making this super functional chef's kitchen into the perfect gathering space in the home. Walls of windows overlooking the backyard flood the first floor in natural light and invite family and friends to step out into the garden for morning coffee or an evening cocktail.
A deep built-in sideboard off the kitchen makes entertaining a breeze, whether your dining room is opposite the kitchen island (as shown) or adjacent (alternate set-up). The marble toned quartz slab countertops and full decorative tile backsplash in the kitchen contrast elegantly with the natural oak hardwoods throughout the first floor, and walls of windows flood the heart of the home in natural light. Enjoy your garden? Plenty of space here to make this home into a showcase home for the urb
A closer look at the kitchen highlights the generous storage and countertop space, as well as the abundant natural light streaming in from the backyard. The diamond-shape set-up of the gas range (featuring a grill in addition to 4-burners), ovens, sink, and fridge makes the galley kitchen a chef's dream for both entertaining and everyday family meals. Note the stunning design on the tile backsplash and the marble tones of the quartz countertops. Magazine-worthy finishes meet functional layout
The kitchen offers every convenience for the daily chef. High-end BOSCH appliances, including a microwave that doubles as a convection oven for larger-scale entertaining are framed beautifully in soft-close cabinetry and quartz slab countertops. Two dry bars frame the kitchen to service guests when entertaining or discreetly organize mail, homework, and electronic devices. 
Looking back towards the dining room and kitchen from the living room before we head upstairs, it's easy to see how seamlessly the living areas flow into each other. The flexible layout allows space for even the largest furniture - the sofa pictured here is double the length of the average living room seating set.
