Architecturally distinctive contemporary custom home designed by renowned Houston architect Natalye Appel, ideally located in coveted Mandell Place. Dramatic entry opens to a library/flex space with built-ins and an impressive two-story living room with fireplace. Five sets of sliding Pella doors and expansive upper windows frame views of the beautifully renovated pool, creating exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Hardwood floors grace the living areas, dining room, and bedrooms, while the open-concept kitchen features polished stained concrete floors. An open staircase leads to a 2nd-floor flex area with a built-in desk, laundry, and guest bedroom. A separate one-bedroom, one-bath apartment above the garage adds 462 square feet per HCAD and offers exceptional flexibility as guest quarters, art studio, office, or exercise space. Mandell Place lots are not sub-dividable, enhancing the rarity and appeal of this prime Montrose location near Downtown, the Medical Center, and The Galleria. Per Seller
