A rare opportunity in the heart of Bellaire to make lasting memories in this premier, move-in-ready home! This 5 bedroom, 5.5. bath blends comfort and elegance with its North Carolina stone exterior and stately trees highlighting the meticulous grounds. Inside features 5,990 square feet over two stories thoughtfully designed with a downstairs master suite. Enjoy warm afternoons in the private backyard’s outdoor pool, heated spa, and upstairs and downstairs covered patios. Relax in the evenings together in the den watching a movie on the big screen, or welcome guests through the grand foyer and entertain in multiple formal areas that lead into the backyard and open kitchen. Customize your very own exercise studio or hideaway and utilize plenty of space for storage in the large utility room, three-car garage, and attic. Options for the next-door 0.26 acre lot (available for an additional negotiated price) are limitless: build new or add an edition, or enjoy the current garden while holding it as an investment in one of Texas’ most desirable zip codes. This neighborhood offers highly rated schools and an active community. Take a morning stroll along shady sidewalks to Evelyn’s Park, Russ Pitman Park & Nature Discovery Center, or go cycling along nearby Bray’s Bayou. Access Houston’s highways easily to get to the Galleria, Rice University, Memorial Park, or the The Medical Center in minutes! This property showcases the classic, small-town charm and convenience of Bellaire and is ready for its new owner.
