LISTING OF THE DAY
Location: Houston, Texas
Price: $3.995 million
This newly built contemporary spec house in Houston’s leafy Memorial neighborhood offers a pool and spa, three wet bars, a wine room, an elevator, a game room and a fully covered outdoor kitchen.
“The house is in a very prestigious part of Memorial,” said listing agent Thomas Eureste, of NAN & Co. Properties/Christie’s International Real Estate. “It is very modern and it has some finishing touches that make it unique.”
One of its best features is the four full-size pocket doors that open up completely to “give the illusion of being in California and enjoying that indoor-outdoor lifestyle,” he said. Another interesting feature is a private staircase that leads from the mudroom up to the primary bedroom suite.
Other architectural and design details include a heavy steel front door that pivots, an automatic driveway gate, a second floating staircase, both hardwood and Italian tile floors, a balcony, and wood paneling on the exterior ceilings. The facade is made of stucco, brick and concrete.
The entry foyer has a 24-foot ceiling, and the dramatic study to the right of the foyer features an 18-foot ceiling and floor-to-ceiling bookcases bathed in sunlight from wall-to-wall windows.
The open-plan kitchen has appliances by Wolf and Sub-Zero, Italian cabinetry and an island. It opens to the family room.
“This house is unique in that it has a formal breakfast room and a formal dining room,” Mr. Eureste said.
The first floor also holds a mudroom with a large food pantry and an en-suite bedroom.

This floor also holds three other en-suite bedrooms and a game room with a bar and a private balcony that overlooks the front yard.
All of the bedrooms have full-size custom closets with built-ins, Mr. Eureste said.

Neighborhood Notes
The house is in an enclave known as Memorial Close-in, Mr. Eureste said. “It’s the most prominent part of Memorial, a very small pocket that’s closest to the city.”
“It’s centrally located but you have a sense of privacy,” he said. It doesn’t feel like you’re in the city. It’s very private, very woodsy.”
It’s about a seven-minute drive to downtown Houston, he said.
