Nestled on an elevated, tree-lined lot in River Oaks, this estate blends modern luxury with timeless design. Venetian plaster walls, bespoke-patterned hardwoods, and curated lighting by Apparatus, AvroKO, Kelly Wearstler, and more set a sophisticated tone. The kitchen features Calacatta Vagli marble counters, a Lacanche range, and an expansive island with breakfast bar seating. Luxe baths showcase Ann Sacks tile, custom marble vanities, and designer brass fixtures. A wine basement with stunning lacquered walls adds rare depth, while a game room with a full bar, built-out attic with sleeping nooks, and detached gym enhance functionality. The guest quarters offer a full suite and a treetop terrace. Outside, a poolside pavilion with pizza oven, grill, and bar anchors the backyard, complemented by multiple patios and lush landscaping designed for elevated outdoor living. With careful attention to detail, every element speaks to intentional design and enduring elegance.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
